Globe7 is a VoIP application that lets you make free internet calls from your computer to other computers (with Globe7 also installed) and access cheap international call rates when phoning landlines and mobile (cell) phones. You have to register, download the software and purchase credit. You have to use Moneybookers in order to buy credit or send money to Globe7 through a wire transfer (which does seem a bit long-winded in these days of online purchasing).

Globe7 do boast the world’s lowest call rates, but I’m afraid this is a little bit of an exaggeration, as comparing a call from the UK to Australia (Adelaide) they are beaten marginally on price by 18185.co.uk (although you can only use 18185 if you live in the UK).

Jaxtr lets you connect from your landline or mobile phone to other landline phones internationally for the cost of a local call. They do this by providing a local number for you to call for free between supported countries (over 50 countries currently available). You pay your mobile or landline phone provider for the cost of the local call.

You have to register the phone you will be dialling from on their website, then store the local numbers provided in your phone to reuse whenever you need to. So once you’ve accessed the Jaxtr website to initially generate the local number there is no need to do so again for the same number, only if you wish to dial someone new. No software to download.
