No Need For A VOIP Service Provider

I don't see the logic behind paying for a VOIP service when I think all I need to do can be compressed into a few easy and affordable one-time steps without shelling cash out for those high-tech communications equipment that goes with a VOIP account.

I just need to download a free copy of ExpressDial from NCH Swift Sound, get a voice modem that best suits my computer hardware specifications, install the appropriate drivers and programs for the voice modem, download a free copy of the latest Yahoo Messenger with Voice version, and ask all my friends and family to do the same thing! VOIP promises more affordable phone calls, either local or international, but for me, I promise myself free PC to PC calls, less PC to phone calls, and more free PC to mobile phone SMS - all this attainable by following the master plan!

ExpressDial is a phone dialing software for Windows platform PCs, and this application works well with any voice modem. It is available as a free download from the NCH Swift Sound website, which has a lot more to offer when it comes to telephony programs well-suited for your needs. The NCH Swift Sound also has a call recording software, not to mention an answering machine application and an outbound messaging solution, the latter I suggest to those habitual crank callers and phreaks!

Yahoo Messenger with Voice, on the other hand, is a free application from yahoo.com which provides users a chat client, an e-mail messaging solution, and, yes, a suitable voice-chat solution as well. In addition, Yahoo Messenger can send SMS, yes, to mobile phones, absolutely free of charge, but, mobile phone users need to reply in order to get more messages from the one using the Yahoo Messenger messaging client.

Now, think of the future: an affordable wifi internet connection for your mobile phone and Yahoo Messenger - wouldn't that mean unlimited phone calls, SMS, MMS, and file sharing anytime and anywhere you are in the world at a fixed affordable price?
