How to make a free call from computer to phone

User question

Hello.

Do not tell me, is it possible to make free calls from a computer to a regular mobile or landline phone? I know that this service is in the Skype program (but the service is paid there, although not so expensive).

Good day!

Hmm, to be honest, I myself have resorted to such services and programs a couple of times (when the phone's battery ran out and I had to make one necessary call).

In the article, I have selected the best (in my humble opinion 👌) services that allow you to make calls from an ordinary computer to your phone. For a conversation, you need to have a microphone with headphones connected and configured (well, high-quality Internet).

So...

👉 Important!

1) Services below - often require an updated version of Adobe Flash Player. Therefore, if any service generates an error, I recommend updating the flash player ->

2) If your interlocutor does not hear you, for example, your microphone somehow began to work strangely - I recommend that you see this note ->

3) If you have headphones with a microphone with two plugs, and there is only one audio jack in your laptop (PC) - check it out ->

Ways to call from a computer to a phone (over the Internet)

Free of charge

✔ CALLS. Online

Website: // calls.online

Very simple and pleasant service. To get started, you need to register, or log in using your VKontakte account. You can call all over the world!

We call on calls online!

By the way, sometimes the service does not allow calls within Russia, it gives a message that the free minutes have allegedly run out. It's a shame ...

Note: The phone number must be dialed in international format. Calls can be made not only to Russia, Ukraine, but also to any country of the World (by the way, some countries are available only for a fee).

How to dial a phone in international format: code +7 - for Russia, +380 - for Ukraine, then dial the city code or the mobile operator's phone number (code 495 is the city code of Moscow, code 812 is the code of the city of St. Petersburg, code 44 is the code of Kiev, then the number subscriber).
