How to Get Free International Calling

Video Transcript

"When you call overseas it can be expensive. There are options available to you. There is one free option and there are a couple of other choices I'd like to share with you. The free one that I came across online was Google via Talkster. And that is a total Google and Talkster process. What we need to do to, to get the free calling, it's a little bit complicated in my opinion, but it works. You could talk as long as you like for free, so it's worth the effort to go through the steps. First thing you need to is download the Google via Talkster product. OK? When you do that you'll be assigned a phone number and a pin. What you then need to do is give that pin and phone number to the person that you'll be calling. Alright. And the system will call them, because you've preprogrammed in their phone number in there in the address book. The system will call them. They have ten seconds to acknowledge that they've received the call. They then have to call you back using that phone number and that pin. Then you can talk as long as you like for free. So the challenges are you have to load it up and then you have to have them call you back. Other options are phone cards and international cards can be quite cheap, but be careful are they charging you by the minute or by the second. Vonage has got a pretty low cost system. Skype can be totally free but you have to, the person has to be using Skype as well. We use a local company Brighthouse. And we pay five cents a minutes to call England where my husband's family is, so. Lots and lots of options. Check them out, see what works best for you, what cost you want to spend, what time you want to spend. Kathy Pabst Robshaw, Total Telephone Effectiveness."
