Phone people free - computer to computer

My friend recommended this site that allows you to phone people for free using your computer. If the other end doesn't have a computer, they apparently have low long-distance rates.

And yes, your computer needs a microphone.

So I take it its like the instant messaging things but this you can use to actually talk.

God I would never get any work done. I will have to think about it!

 

I am used to screaming at my computer now... are you sure you need a microphone too???

 

It's basically instant messenger with voice - it's "voice over IP".

The good thing is - as long as the person on the other end has a computer (and the software installed) - you can "phone" anyone in the world for free.
