A couple of years ago I installed a free program that let's you make free long distance phone calls with your computer.
Steve and Barb called me once that way and we had a nice long chat.Clear connection too.

I only had dial up modem at the time, so it didn't work for me to call out.

Now that I have DSL, I'd like to try it again.
Anyone using this and can give me a link?
Steve, you still using the same one?

Thanks,
A

We use Yahoo Messenger, with DSL connection and it works great. Even allows text and voice at the same time, or you can even hook up a cam. Have also used phonefree.com, when it was free (they now charge for computer to land line calls, computer to computer was still free last time I checked)

I've used Dialpad, but with the slow connection speed here in my rural edge of the earth, it didn't work very well...real choppy sound.
