Not many VoIP services are available for free download on the Internet anymore. However, there is one, Ad Calls. In exchange for viewing ads, one can make free long distance and local calls using their Internet connection. You won’t be able to talk longer than ten minutes at a time, and you won’t be able to call 911 or toll free numbers, but Ad Calls will give you a glimpse of what VoIP has to offer.

If you would like to experience another form of VoIP, try downloading any of the major Instant Messaging programs. Again, these programs are free to download and free to use. They are now combined with VoIP technology and you can use Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, AOL, MSN, and even a new messenger designed by Google to call your friends and family. They will have to be on the same program as you, and you will need a computer microphone and speakers to be able to transfer and hear audio.

Skype was one of the first leading programs that introduced consumers to the arena of VoIP. Today, Skype is free from Skype user to user. For a monthly fee you can upgrade your Skype and experience full telephony capabilities.
