If so, What kind of services do you get? Are they reliable? How about the connection, is it clear? And the charges, is it reasonable? Please message me and let me know! I need to call my family overseas, but I have no phone line. The only way I could call them via internet. Would you share me your experiences about these services? Thanks in advance!

I have never tried using the internet to call anyone online or overseas, but my grandma has. My great uncle showed her how to use Skype and she loves it. All I have heard from her is positive things about it. I am pretty sure that it is free to use. My second cousins moved overseas and when my aunt and uncle went to visit them, my grandma talked to them with Skype.

I use a program called Skype. The charges are fairly reasonable and the quality's been pretty clear for me. Do you have a pretty good broadband speed? Cuz you'll need it. It won't work well with dial-up or a low broadband speed.

I use Skype. I use this to call from Australia to UK. I found it to be very reliable, only get a slight delay when talking. Using Skype within the same country is as clear as using a landline. Hope this is of some help. Oh, most importantly its FREE!
