As I understand it, there seem to be 2 ways to use skype, ekiga,
Bosix,
etc and probably google.
skype to skype, and skype to telephone.
skype to skype is free of charge, that's the one I refer to.
For skype to telephone you pay skype in advance by opening an account
and can make calls as you wish to the value of the account. I would
assume that would similarly apply to google.
Some of my associates who are in frequent international contact have
skype acounts. They have VOIP telephones and modems. Bigpond in
Australia disables VOIP in the Thompson Gateway modems.
That is one of the things I don't understand. Google has not asked me for money
to telephone. I live in San Antonio and I called my son in Chicago. I
have no account with Google and as far as I can see the call was free.
Can someone explain this?
