Vonage Forum
Being in the business that I'm in (writing content for commercial websites) I often have to speak to people hwo live in such far flung places as India and Australia. Some of my jobs can't easily be exaplained by email, so an actual conversation is necessary.
Unfortunately I have nothing in the way of a long distance package with my phone provider, and it can be awkward to ask to reverse the charges with the client (the last thing you want to do is start off on the wrong foot with a guy who wants to give you a few thousand dollars).
These days, though, it isn't so much of a problem. With the introduction of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) we can now make long distance phone calls using our Internet connections for a fraction of the cost of a real phone call.
If you're interested in looking into VoIP to bring down your phone bills you might want to take a look at the Vonage Forum. There's news on the latest developments in the world of VoIP and reviews of all the technology available to make it easier to connect. Watch out, AT&T.
