Almost every phone service provider claims to offer cheap phone calls. However, did you know that you can actually make free online phone calls to PCs, landlines, and mobile phones? Yes, the days of free internet phone service are now upon us, and you’re only a few clicks of your mouse away from enjoying the freedom of calling who you want, where you want, and when you want – all for free!

 Before you start dialing everyone you know from your PC, you’ll need a few things first to get you started. First and foremost, an internet connection is necessary. You’ll also want to make sure that your PC has a microphone and speakers. Many users of Internet to phone service prefer to use a headset when making calls, and they are inexpensive and available at any PC or office supply store.

 Once you have the right equipment to start dialing, you’ll need to choose a service provider. There are many that promote free PC to PC calls. The most notable of these is Skype, but there are countless others to choose from. The majority of these providers offer services that include instant messaging and a variety of other services along with the ability to make free calls directly from your computer. These services are great as long as you only need to call friends and families who are also users of the service. However, if you want to call anyone on a landline or a mobile phone, you’ll most likely have to sign up for a monthly calling plan that may or may not be cost effective. This is why it’s always important to comparison shop before choosing a provider of Internet to phone service and why it’s equally vital to read the fine print of any agreement or plan before you sign up.

 One alternative to Skype and the other services that claim to have cheap phone calls is MediaRing Talk. The company uses an entirely different business model than the bulk of its competitors and actually offers free online phone calls to landlines and mobile phones in eight countries. You can call any phone within the United States, or call the UK, Canada, China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Taiwan for free. There is no required subscription, and MediaRing Talk also offers free PC to PC calls to over 220 other global destinations. With over 3 and a half million users, a growing number of internet phone fans are enjoying the freedom of making free online phone calls.  

 To sign up for MediaRing Talk, you simply need to go to the company’s website and click on ‘Signup’. You’ll be asked a few questions, and you’ll need to assign yourself a user name that you’ll be asked to provide each time you sign into the service. Once you’ve completed the sign up process, you’ll be able to start making calls by dialing numbers directly from your computer.
