Because a large proportion of people I work with live in China and I still need to be in regular contact with them, I had been running up some massive phone bills. Like a lot of people I knew there were some alternatives to using my mobile for hour long conversations, such as buying a special sim card for my mobile phone or setting VoIP up - I had, to be to be frank been too lazy. Now I’m getting concerned about the depressing economic outlook I finally made the effort to explore how tricky it would be to make cheap calls to China.

It did take the economic collapse of the world to to finally explore some alternative possibilities, but I am very pleased I have. It was much easier to set VoIP up than I had anticipated, the call quality is superb, and I have already saved a ton of money. What’s great is a lot of my work colleagues have signed up as well which means calls are not only cheap they are actually completely free.

What this has meant is I have been able to greatly cut back on costs at a time when it is vital to save as much money as you possibly can. So if you are finding yourself in the same or similar situation I cannot recommend enough, switching to VoIP.
