Overview
The best part about using an Instant Messengers to make calls is they help in cutting the rate even lower. With Buzport, calls are even cheaper when using this feature.
As a Buzport customer you can make calls using any combination between different devices (mobile phones, landlines, soft phones, SIP, instant messengers).
For example calls can be made from Skype to mobile number, from landline to ICQ, from GTalk to Skype, or any other combination.

If a messenger is used as one (or both) of the segments, the corresponding segment is FREE!
