Is there any service available for making free international call from phone to phone?

Have broadband internet. Need phone service immediately.?

• Hi. I'm new to VOIP technology. I have internet 7mbps with Charter (cable). I'm paying $100/month for internet, phone (that I barely use) and basic satellite tv which I don't even use as I don't have a dish or watch tv. So now I'm thinking to cancel everything but internet and use some type of VOIP phone service but I need something right now, in the next 20 minutes that doesn't require hardware. Some software I can download, pay if I have to and start making calls in the US. I don't need all the bells and whistles. I make the most 20 calls in the US/month. So basically what I need is the following, if available: - Phone available as soon as I sign up or install some communication software - Service doesn't require microphone or any other hardware other than regular home phone - A phone number. Don't care whether is local or not. - 911 calls, not a must but nice. I know about skype, netcall, Magic Jack and others but they either take a while to receive the hardware and I don't have a microphone. I need to be able to use my regular landline phone. I need to be able to call and receive calls ASAP. Is there anything like that available out there?

• Answer:

  Unless you have a spare Analog Terminal Adapter lying around, you're not going to get service in "20 minutes". However, if you live near a mass merchandiser like Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc. then you can get either a Vonage or Phone Power ATA, plug it in and sign up with a credit card. Notice there was no "magicjack" mentioned. It requires a computer.
