From Skype
Make free PC to PC calls from your computer! yep free calls to other people on Skype and great rates to phones and mobiles across the world. And the sound quality is excellent, too. Keep Skype running all day and it is like you are in the same room as the person you are talking to.
Better than a phone? Yep, you betcha! Skype isn't just about free Skype-to-Skype calls and nice, cheap local, national and international calls to phones and mobiles. You can also do much, much more.
For starters why not send a text message directly from Skype; forward a call to your mobile; or set up an online number for friends, family and colleagues to make a local call from their old-fashioned phone to your Skype, wherever in the world you are.
All you need to get going with these snazzy products is a little pay as you go Skype Credit. Alternatively you can get unlimited calls to landlines* and a great bundle of useful features with a subscription. It is one neat little package for a low monthly fee.
