You can make free calls to other computers using this...

Download Gizmo Project 4.0.4.386 - FileHippo.com

If your ISP gives you free VOIP minutes you will be able to call landlines and mobiles too else you will have to pay.

Skype is freeware as well though, just not to landlines/mobiles..

I use skype all the time. Free for skype to skype calls, free to toll free (0800) numbers, and cheaper than normal phone for land line calls

ok thanks will have a look at skype, cant do it at work because its p2p and will alarm the network guys. So this app and its p2p setup is ok and safe - i guess it must be

So if i install it on the laptop its got a microphone built in so i open the app call the other person on their machine i can talk and hear as though on a speakerphone?

Use mine at work all the time (at least an hour or two every day) to people in the UK, USA, and Bulgaria. Been doing this for a couple of years now with no problems at all. I put £10 credit on it when I opened the account, and still have over £9 left now 2 years later.

Yep, that'll work, although be careful to to type on the keybord at the same time. Sounds like thunder on the other end of the line . You can also use USB headsets if you want to keep the conversation private...
