If you want to know how to make international phone calls for free it’s actually very simple.

The main component that makes up the cost of making long distance calls, is the connection to your and their local providers.

Of course you can bypass it by using the internet and VoIP (voice over ip).

Because VoIP has grown in popularity over the last few years, using the internet and avoid typical long distance charges is the best thing.

However if you use your phone and call their phone, even with VoIP, you still have to pay for connecting from to your provider and then to their local provider.

Now, you can avoid that, if you use the internet without tapping into the local networks.

How?

With instant messengers. Skype, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, etc…

That’s why when you connect with Skype or any other IM, and they also use an instant messenger it’s free.

Now, let me give a little trick you can use with Buzport.

If you have a smartphone, like iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc… and you have broadband on it, you can use it just like your PC or MAC computer and connect with Instant Messenger, which will either make the call free or if you choose to call another phone on it, it’ll radically cut down on what you end up paying.

You can get the whole scoop on our Call With Instant Messenger page.

It’s too bad most VoIP providers and mobile companies don’t openly tell you how to make international phone calls for free, but now you know.
