Skype

Skype is a piece of software that you can download to call other people on Skype using your broadband internet connection for Free. You can also make calls to phones and mobiles worldwide for very low rates.

The monthly subscription plans start at $2.95 per month, which allows you to make unlimited calls to landlines and mobile phones in the U.S. and Canada. The Unlimited Country subscription allows you to make unlimited calls to a specific country of your choosing for $5.95 per month. The third subscription is called Unlimited World and allows you to make unlimited calls to landlines in over 40 countries worldwide for $12.95 per month.

One very cool thing about Skype is that you can make video calls, as long as both ends of the call have webcams setup. Amazingly, this is a free option for Skype to Skype video calls. Skype is not your traditional VoIP solution, but it’s certainly worth looking into as a low cost option of making unlimited local and long distance calls in the U.S. and Canada.

    I started out with the free option calling other friends and family that also had skype. It was the best option for calling long distance for free. About 4 months ago, I gave in and opted for the $2.95 per month option because I had a need to call friends and family that had no idea what skype was. At just $3 per month, I am saving about $25 to $30 per month on the long distance charges I was accumulating each month using my regular home phone line before finding skype. I have no complaints with the their service. The only thing I can say is that you definately need an external microphone and headset if your going to be talking for more than a few minutes. I bought a headset for about $10 which does the job nicely.
