FreeCall is a client for making VoIP calls. The term VoIP (voice over IP) makes reference to communication protocols and technologies involved in supporting voice communications that are performed over IP (Internet Protocol) networks, like the Internet.
In order to install the utility, you need to make a user account first. A bandwidth test will then be performed, as well as sound device tests. If the tests work well, you can proceed with using the utility for making phone calls. The user interface is structured on different tabs. A "start" tab is meant for showing you your account credit, the "contacts" tab lists your contacts and a dial pad is provided in another tab. You can add contacts either by specifying a landline/mobile number or contact details of another FreeCall user. Two of the available tabs are for making phone to phone calls, by specifying your own number and that of the recipient, and for sending sms texts. All in all, the user interface is an intuitive and easy to use one.

A very good and fast calling app.
Hi, I have Skype installed on PC, but I use it mainly to talk for free. Otherwise I use the Smartgroschen. They have a small top-up starts from 0.89 Euro, so just enough to use from time to time.
