How You Can Talk To Friends Around the World Using Your PC

Many of us have online friends around the world, or maybe old classmates or family that have gone overseas to work.

Many times we avoid calling them because of the expense of international calling. If you use your PC, and free software, you can talk to them for no per minute fees, and usually clearer than the traditional phone call.

Most of today’s popular instant messaging programs included a voice option, which usually work quite well, but my preferred program is Skype.

Skype uses the best voice system available today, giving you extremely clear voice without chewing up all your bandwidth.

The quality of your calls will depend greatly on the equipment you choose. My preferred choice for Skype is a USB Headset.

USB Headsets are usually clearer and quieter than traditional headsets. Logitech makes a wide variety of headsets, my favorite is the Clearchat Pro USB, it is extremely clear, with great volume controls, and very inexpensive.

You can also buy telephones specifically for Skype, that allow you to still feel like you are using a phone. I prefer the headset, since to me, it sounds better.

If you add a webcam, you can have a great video call with your friends, Skype also has the clearest video of any of the instant messengers.

Skype also offers a paid service called Skype-Out, which lets you call phones overseas, if your friends do not have Skype. To some countries the calls are very cheap, to others they are still fairly high.

I have made many overseas calls, and none of my phone calls have been as clear as Skype. Download it and give it a try.
