Some decades ago long-distance calls were luxury, but with the advent of Internet based phone services including VoIP, this is no longer the case. Calling family members and friends anywhere in the world has become extremely cheap, and sometimes even free. Moreover, some of these services don`t require Internet connection for making international calls. 

People all over the world actively use Skype, and it is considered to be the best VoIP service which allows making free PC-to-PC calls. But there are few other good options which let you make low rate international calls using your mobile or landline phone. 

There are 3 types of VoIP solutions which allow enjoying high end phone calls at a share of the price the phone company or mobile carrier charges.

Software based VoIP solution

It supposes installation of VoIP software on your PC or web-enabled mobile device and calling via the Internet bypassing the mobile carrier or the phone company. It`s remarkable that it is not necessary to have phone connected to the Internet over GPRS, Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE or WiMAX.

Hardware based VoIP solution
