What's the cheapest way calling your family and friends in your home country?

In times of globalization it is not anymore unusual to work abroad. There are thousands of people leaving their countries to find a good-paying job. Arrived in their adopted countries they want to stay in contact with their loved ones. Unfortunately they have to notice that landline connections as well as mobile telephony are extraordinary high-prized. But now, new ways and means have arisen from the internet. In brief : VoIP!

Voice over IP is an IP telephony term for a set of facilities used to manage the delivery of voice information over the Internet.VoIP involves sending voice information in digital form in discrete packets rather than by using the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

A major advantage of VoIP is that it avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service. FriendCaller is a good example for a VoIP- supplier, since they offer cheap prices combined with excellent sound quality. On the average an international minute on a usual landline number just costs 2 cents. Therefore FriendCaller can contrast strongly with its competitors. Its maybe also interesting to mention that FriendCaller can be used on an iPhone and on Android, as a WebPhone or even as a Facebook Application.

So, if you live in a foreign country and miss your family and friends, you really should benefit from this cheap possibility to stay in contact. Just call your mother to say hello, she will appreciate it!
