Free Internet Phone Services Turn Your PC or Mac into a Full-Fledged Telephone

If you want to try internet phone services but don't want to make commitment to one VOIP company, then try VOIP for free.

Most free internet phones let you call other users of the same service for free. This is called free PC to PC calls. It's easy to set up. Just join the service yourself, and then invite your friends and family to do the same.

What most people don't know, is that other services allow you to  make free PC to phone calls. In other words, the person you're calling is on a regular phone or mobile phone.
