Netphones

What is a netphone?

Netphones, also known as softphones, are software applications that turn your computer into a phone. The software is traditionally free, downloadable from the Internet, and requires nothing other than an active Internet connection and sound capabilities. To improve sound and conversation quality, most people use a handset or headset for conversations.

Skype™ is the world’s fastest-growing service for Internet communication. It is a piece of free software that allows people around the world to talk for free. Visit www.skype.com for more information.
