I have installed the voipcheap program onto my pc. You can make calls of up
to 2 minutes duration for free, but if you put £5 credit into your account,
you can make unlimited landline calls to lots of countries including this
one.

Hi,
The system works by having a phone adaptor which converts the network signal to the signal needed for the house phone. We use it extensively here at home for free calls (I pay another company £9.99 a month and get all calls to UK landlines included anytime - the box just plugs into the existing router.
Plusnet to either a full wireless router, with an extra phone port on, or you can buy a standard phone adaptor, or use PC software for free.
Andrew.

Hi All,
Just had an email from plusnet promoting their plustalk telephone service.
I am wondering how this works as it seems to indicate that you can use a normal house phone and not I assume, need to be near the pc.
Also, is the quality likely to be reasonable.
I am thinking this could be an alternitive to 18866 now that their prices have increased again.
Perhaps there are cheaper options?
