once upon a time on a cold dark night sitting somewhere in the garden city, a thoughtless rambler decided to save his words for posterity.

Net phone

Some useful tips for people trying to make international calls to friends/relatives. The following are some options which I currently use to make overseas calls. If you have any more please feel free to enter in the comments.

1. VoipBuster

As of today, VoipBuster allows free calls to landlines in certain international locations. Checkout their site for the listed countries.

You have to pay 10 euros to make unlimited calls, but the calls themselves are free. All other locations invite charges. You need to install the software from their site.

2. VoipUser

This is a service allowing you to have a virtual landline in UK. All calls from through the internet will be routed through this line. You are allowed to call free to hundreds of locations. But you are expected to create incoming calls to this alloted number so that this will create money for the user community, and helps to keep the outgoing calls free. You need to register at their site, and download a software SIP phone(X-Pro) to use the service.
