Callcentric Online Calling Card

Submitted by: genwright

Because you view internet content on a television screen, you may forget the world-wide web actually links all its users through a giant telephone network. Now, you can capitalize on that high-powered telephone connection to save money on long-distance calls-not just in the United States and Canada, but all around the world.

Several providers can connect you at discount rates, but Callcentric offers the best service at by far the lowest prices. It cost nothing to sign-up, and the process takes just a few minutes. If you have family all over the United States or all around the world, especially if you have a loved-one serving overseas in the armed forces, Callcentric will help you stay in-touch for considerably less than any other phone-service provider.

With just a broadband internet connection, a Callcentric "softphone" or a telephone adapter, and your computer, you can call other Callcentric members anywhere in the world and pay nothing. Or you can dial-up any telephone anywhere on the planet and pay at least 50% less than any other provider's rate. The Callcentric web-site provides all the details about their own phone products and all the others readily available at major electronics retailers. The Callcentric network's accessibility and voice quality are excellent; they do not downgrade service just because they discount the price.

Business users should take advantage of Callcentric's exceptionally low rates for toll-free service. Callcentric charges only $3.95 to set-up a North American toll-free number, and it costs only $3.95 per month to maintain it. Incoming calls may go directly to your Callcentric phone, or you may have them forwarded to the phone of your choice, and your callers will pay nothing. And your toll-free number comes with a little extra peace of mind built-in: Because calls to toll-free numbers always must show the caller's number, you always will know who's on the line.

Best of all, Callcentric now offers "Calling Card" service that lets you use your Callcentric account to place calls from your cell phone while you're on the road. The Calling Card feature charges your Callcentric Pay-Per-Call account, deducting your charges from your pre-paid deposit. Pre-pays start as low as $5.00, and you can make deposits with your PayPal account as well as all major credit cards. While you're traveling, you may use your Calling Card feature by dialing into one of Callcentric's global access numbers. Or, purchasing a phone number on the Callcentric network, you may use it as a personal dedicated access number.

Like all the Callcentric plans, your calling card connects you with all your favorite calling features at no extra charge. All Callcentric plans include call return, caller ID with name, a special "do not disturb" feature, last-number redial, speed-dial 100, call waiting, caller ID blocking and other options for restricting other people's access to your information. An easy-to-use "management page" lets you control everything about your account on line; and an exceptionally sophisticated voicemail service displays all about your missed calls right on your computer screen.

Callcentric's rates consistently are lower than most other providers-generally a lot lower. For example, Callcentric's rate for a call to Afghanistan is more than 60% less than both AT&T and Vonage. And for any call anywhere in the United States, Callcentric's rate is at least 50% better than any other competitor's.
