Have you tried voip.com's Make a Call, yet?
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
If life is like a box of chocolates, then voip must be a paper origami puzzle box. Every time you think you've got voip all figured out, it shifts in your hand, unfolding itself to reveal yet another hidden treasure for voip internet phone users.
Take voip.com's Make a Callprogram, for instance. Instead of monthly fees, you buy low-cost minutes--as many or as few as you like. In order to use those minutes, you have to log into your free-to-create account and type two numbers into the boxes provided. The first would be the phone you want to be talking on, while the second is the person you'd like to call.
Then, simply click the button that says, "Make this call," and wait for the magic to happen. Your phone will ring before very long; pick it up and wait a moment. Then your friend's phone will ring. When they pick up, your calls are connected and voip.com drops out of the equation, much like an old fashioned telephone switchboard operator.
Here's what's so fantastic...when I did my test run, I used a landline number for the first one, and a cell phone for the second--no voip adapter, no special phone, no anything. Yet still, the phones rang as if on cue and after both parties picked up, the calls managed to automatically merge themselves, without any trouble, into a crystal clear phone call.
And that, my friends, is certainly worthy of puzzle box status.
