My online friend Uri Levanon called me today from Israel. He called to my SkypeIn number.
That's in itself isn't remarkable. What is, perhaps, is that he called that number - which is a normal landline number in London - from his internet phone service. Not Skype this time. Uri was calling from The VoipBuster. For free.
Another VOIP service to join Skype and Teleo (and probably others).
Is it worth it? Well, I'm going to try it. The sound quality on the call with Uri was almost as good as a Skype call. And, if you really can use it to call normal phones for free, then it's definitely worth a try.
The VoipBuster website lists 15 countries where you can call people there for free on their normal phones (not mobile numbers). For calls to numbers in all other countries, you'd buy credit from the VoipBuster, much as you do now with SkypeOut.
The VoipBuster software is for Windows only at the moment. And it's still beta. Free download.
I just tried it and free calls to mobile phones can be made :)
