How to Make Free Calls From a PC to a Mobile Phone


1. Go to MediaRingTalk.com and sign up for free (see References). This program allows you to make free calls to seven countries including Australia, China, Singapore, the U.K., Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the United States through your PC. Unlike voice over IP, you can use it to call both fixed lines and mobiles and not get charged a penny. Just go to the site and fill in your name and email address. There are no contracts or deposits required. In exchange, you will have to give it information about your interests, and you will be shown advertisements related to these interests while using the software to make phone calls. However, you won't be downloading malware or adware because you only get shown the ads when you make calls or when the application is open.
2. Call other countries. You can also use the application to call other countries outside of the seven free countries, but you will be charged a substantially lower rate than the phone company charges. For example, it only costs 1.7 cents per minute to call India and most other countries.
3. Make calls, do conferences and instant message. After you've downloaded and installed the program, start it up. The interface looks just like a phone. To make a call, you simply dial the numbers. If you wish to make a conference call, click on “Conference” and “Add.” Then click the name or dial the number of the person you want to add to the call. To instant message, you can simply click “Chat” and then click on the name of the contact you wish to chat with.
4. Make inexpensive calls on your mobile. You can also download MediaRing Talk to your Web-enabled mobile phone. Although the calls from your mobile aren't free, they cost substantially less than what your wireless carrier will charge you.

3. Receive government assistance. If you already receive assistance from your state government or the federal government, such as food stamps, public housing or Medicaid, there’s a good chance you qualify for SafeLink free wireless service.

5. Maintain a valid address. A valid address means a valid street address where your SafeLink wireless phone can be shipped. SafeLink does not consider P.O. boxes a valid address.

How to Send Free Picture Messaging


1. Open the home page of a picture messaging website. PixDrop.com and Text4free.net are two examples of websites offering free online texting services. PixDrop delivers messages to four providers: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. Text4free.net delivers messages all over the world with an option of 'any' provider in a handful of countries. Read the terms of use, this is important. You may find that by entering your information, or the information of the recipient, you will be added to a list of spam websites.
2. Enter the receiving number. In some cases the website will ask for the service provider of the recipient's number. You may decide to notify the recipient prior to sending your photo message to ensure his phone accepts picture messages.
3. Upload your photo. Make sure the file size is compatible. Most standard Jpeg files will suffice. Most personal computers have a default program, such as Windows Paint, that assists users with resizing photos.
4. Add a text message with a caption for your photo. Sending a message with your picture will add that special touch.
