    Default Is there a way to do phone...without a phone?

    I get horrible cell phone reception inside my house..and I don't have a house phone. I get a lot of requests for phone but I still do ok without it so I don't wanna waste money to get a house phone or landline whatever you wanna call it. Does anyone know a way that I can have them call a phone number and it will ring thru my computer...like some kind of program or website that offers this.. ?

    You could just get MagicJack. When I bought mine it was only $45 and came with a year of service. After that it's $20 a year. Not bad imo. <3

    Google Talk! NOT to be confused with Google Voice lol. It gives you a free phone number and people can call you and you can talk to them from your computer.It's not hard to set up, all you have to do is set up a gmail account and then add the application

    It's totally free and it works better than Skype imo!

    you can call cells and landlines with skype(for a small fee), but I don't believe they can call you without it. I may be wrong

    You can also purchase a phone number (country of your choice) and receive calls to that. Very practical.

    Exactly. I can call anyone and anyone can call me it's sweet. Skype to skype calls are always free which is nice. But yes, get some calling credits and an online number and you're set.

    Ps. No google talk or voice in Canada I've tried, I was sad.

    I have Skype and paid for a phone number for 1 year. I heard that google voice is going to stop within the year (or become a pay service? Not sure)

    Anyone know of another service besides Google Voice where you can get a free phone number for texting so you don't have to use your real one?

    You can communicate Skype-to-Skype (some have Skype apps on their phones) but like others have said here, you can also purchase a phone number so they can call you directly, like they would call any other number. I have three numbers for three different countries so they don't rack up long distance charges.

    I downloaded Google Talk but it seems just like skype where you can make computer to computer calls. It said nothing about giving me a phone number and there's no option to call phone numbers. It only lets you send someone an email request to download Google Talk so you can talk through that software... :/
