FREE CALLS TO UK/IRISH LANDLINES FROM A PC

Discount phone provider call1899, has started a trial Voip service which allows you to call landlines in the UK and Ireland from your PC for free. To do so you simply download its software, and then make the calls via a headset and microphone on your computer. To get full access you do need to pay a �1 account opening charge, but this is a one-off payment.

The quality isn�t great, but is workable, providing you�re on broadband. Sometimes it is difficult to get through, but at least you�re not paying for the calls.

Why is it so cheap?


Its game plan is to make you use this Voip service for international calls and calls to mobiles, yet for those the price isnt much better than the best normal phone to phone services (including 1899s own service) and there the quality is better (see Cheapest UK Landline Provider and Cheapest Way to Call Mobiles article).

Of course as its a trial at some stage it may up the price, but it is worth using until it does
