So what are some good VoIP choices for students?

• Skype – Skype is one of the most famous names in VoIP, and has a long history with students. Although you can use Skype calling from or to regular phones, its greatest use comes from free computer-computer calling. Particularly if you are calling abroad, Skype can save lots of money.
• Rebtel – Rebtel is another option for students looking to make inexpensive international calls. One of its greatest features is the ability to make free calls from a regular telephone, so long as the people on both ends have Rebtel accounts and are in two of the 50 Rebtel countries.
• Phone.com – Phone.com has a different focus from Skype and Rebtel. It does not focus on providing cheap calls over long distances. Phone.com instead brings some of the more unique features of VoIP, even at prices that are reasonable for an individual. If you want your cell phone to ring at your cell and at your dorm, or want a special number for job hunting, Phone.com’s virtual number might be your solution (for less than $5/month).

If you’re a student, and want to lower your expenses, particularly when traveling abroad – VoIP is probably the answer. It’s also capable of providing some really cool features. For more information, check out our consumer VoIP company reviews.
