Free and cheap phone calls

I've been playing with Skype for
some time as a means of talking to other people via the net. I don't
make many international calls and so have not used it to call any land
lines yet. Skype is handy as it works on Windows and Linux. I have over
40 contacts, mostly for work as my employer is encouraging Skype usage
to save on phone calls. Skype's rates semm competitive, but you have to
buy at least 10 Euros. I have a few cents credit that they gave away
recently.



I've just read about VoipBuster
that has some similar functions, but also offers free calls to phones
in most of Europe, USA, Australia and a few others. Unfortunately it's
Windows only

  2. Yeah, heard it on the radio whilst on holiday. I shall check it out soonest

    Hmm. Windows only for now, but it is based on Jabber so I can at least chat with it. You need a Gmail account. I have a load of spare invitations if anyone wants one.
