Why pay outrageous phone bills when you can call anywhere using a PC for cheap or even free? Forget about long distance plans, counting minutes and checking for signal coverage. If you have a computer and outrageous access, you can call anywhere, anytime. Read on to learn call anywhere using a PC.
Instructions
1. Get the software. The best way to call anywhere using a PC is to download a very popular software called Skype. Skype can be downloaded for free on the Skype website. Be sure to choose the correct version for your PC.
2. Ensure audio capability. Make sure that your computer is equipped with a microphone. You can do this by checking under the control panel section of your PC. Most PCs made within the last several years have an internal microphone built in, but if yours doesn't, you can buy an external microphone from any electronics store.
3. Ensure Internet capability. To call another phone or computer you will need to be connected to the Internet. Any type of connection will do, but a fast, secure connection is the best. Make sure you have an anti-virus turned on and that if you are using a wireless connection, that you have a high signal strength to help eliminate breaks in the call.
4. Understand how it works. Skype software allows you to call for free if you are calling another computer that is equipped with the same software, even for international calls. If you call another computer, you must know that person's username. If you are calling a home, business or cell phone, all you need is their phone number and you will be able to call them for a discounted fee.
5. Use the features. Computer software that allows you to call anywhere generally has lots of additional features that you may find helpful such as call history, list of international and domestic rates, and the ability to have multiple party calls and video chats. If you are using a computer to connect with someone, be sure to use all the features available to you to enhance your communication.
