Review: Skype, Voipbuster

Everyone is using Skype these days. Sure it is good and relatively cheap to use, but the drawback is that you still have to pay to call someone on a normal landline. The fact of the matter is that you don’t have to. You can call anyone with a normal phone for free using Voipbuster! And yes, you don’t have to get connected to the internet to receive phone calls from someone using Voipbuster.

-‘So how do you use it?’

You use it exactly like Skype, you can download it from this site and call anyone any phone number for free for a period of 120 days.

-‘What happens after that?’

-Then you do have to pay a modest 10$ using PayPal or other normal transaction sites or if you don’t want to do that, well you can always make a new account, using a new free email-address for another 120 free days of calling. By the way, your 10$ will not be lost, you can use it to call mobile phone numbers with it, it charges about the same cost per minute calling to mobile numbers as Skype does (approximately 0.22$ per minute).

-‘Is it worldwide?’

-‘You can call landlines for free in almost every civilized country, for some countries you have to pay’

-‘So if I get it right, I can either call every landline for free if I use a new account after 120 days and if I don’t want to go through that hustle, I just add another 10$ which I can use in the next 120 days for calling mobile lines which I have to call anyway?

- Exactly!

- One thing you have to keep in mind though..

- and that is?

- Skype has a lot of users worldwide and meanwhile there have been a lot of splendid add-ons developed for Skype, such as the Jugma collaboration tool. Therefore you can share your desktop with other users online thus showing them what you are doing on your PC, your presentation or work together on every document imaginable online.

- So Skype can be a bit more expensive, but it does add extra professional features?

- Yep!

Summary

Voipbuster is a great addition to Skype to even further lower your communication costs. The quality is quite good, though not as good as Skype and it has no video integration nor the extensive add-on tools Skype has. But then again, if you just want to make phone calls absolutely free, this is just the tool you have been looking for.
