Free Internet Phone Calling services are putting dents in the pocket of big phone companies

For year incumbent telephone service providers have made billions of dollars from consumers on long distance call. This is now coming to an end. Wide availability of internet enable mobile phones such as Iphone and android means consumers can now make free internet phone calls almost for free or very cheap. For example to call a mobile phone in the United Kingdom expect to pay about 60 cents per minute. Making calls over Internet enables phones will cost you about 10 cents per minute. Consumers can now enjoy substantial savings by making international calls over VOIP.

There are several ways to go about making cheap long distance calls. You can buy calling cards or even make the calls directly on websites. There are many companies offering long distance and international calling service. I recently stumble on one service that claims to provide free international phone calls. So I took the liberty of testing out the service. While the service claims to be free and there is no catch one can argue if it is indeed free. You be the judge.

This is how the service works. Sign up for the service and create list of contact you want to call. The next step is to get free credit. Now there are several ways to get free credit. You can invite your friends on facebook or other sites or through email to join the service. When you friends join the service you are given free credit to make free calls. If you want make instant calls you can take a survey. Now there are hundreds of surveys available on the website. Take 5-10 minutes to take a survey; upon completion you are given instant credit for free international calls. Depending on the survey you can earn up to $10 instantly.

This is one of the best services around for free international calls. You can find out more about this service on www.callarc.com
