OK so I do not have a home phone right now and have been using my cell. Well my cell just ran out of airtime and I really am not awake enough to walk to the store right now. Does anybody know of a free online phone thing where I can still call other peoples land lines? I need to make a call and figured this maybe the easy way out for now.

I know with skype you can call other computers free, but I think there's a small charge for calling landlines... but I'm not sure.

If you have broadband, I have found MagicJack works great for me. The device is about $25 and $20 a year for the service, with free national calling to landline or mobile and no limit on talk time

With the MagicJack you just plug it into a USB port on your computer and just plug in your home phone into the MagicJack and use your home phone just like you normaly would.

With the MagicJack you just plug it into a USB port on your computer and just plug in your home phone into the MagicJack and use your home phone just like you normaly would. That sounds like Vontage. A VOIP service. That is not what I am looking for. But thank you. FranShade. You can do it from your computer through programs such as Skype. All you need is your keyboard speakers and a mic. You dial the number from either an on screen number pad or the one from your keyboard. |

You can if you have a mic & speakers, using the phone dialer in Windows, but the quality isn't as good.

Some cell companies have a site in which if you answer some of their surveys they give free minutes which one do u have? |

You're welcome franshade.
Back in the mid 90's almost all of these services were free. unfortunately most companies are out to make money any way they can now. |
