Intertional Calling


Everybody knows using computers to talk with MSN, QQ etc. We’ll nottalk about those methods here. Instead we talk about calls with regularphones on one side or both sides.

I went to Chinatown to buy when I first came here. I bought it online. We can get with rates about or less than 1 cent per minute calling .

No registration, no credit cards, no catches, no limits!

With , you get a local access for yourself, and an access number for your friend.
Say you want to call your friend, you call your access number which rings your friend’s . He/She answers the , then hangs up. You stays online. Your friend calls his/her access number. Then you  two will be connected, basically having a conference call.

The good thing about this method is that your friends, families in call also you by calling their first. You answer the , hang up, ask them to stay online, and then calls your access number.

3. Unlimited World $9.95/month
