How to Make a Phone Call From My Desktop Using XP
With the power of a broadband Internet connection you can use your computer as a free phone service, enabling you to make long-distance and other potentially expensive calls from the comfort of your PC. You can accomplish this by using an online phone service program such as Skype, VOIP Buster, or PhoneGnome. All that is required is that you have a microphone on hand to allow your voice to be heard.
1. Navigate to the web page of a phone service client and download the required software.
2. Save the downloaded file to your desktop for safekeeping.
3. Double-click on the downloaded file and select the option to "Install."
4. Restart your computer.
5. Open the "Start" menu, click on "All Programs," and open the phone client program.
6. Input the number to be called and press "Call" to complete the call.
I hope this helps!
