2. Choose a VoIP service. A few you can consider include Skype, Twinkle and Speak Freely.
3. Download and install the VoIP software you have chosen. Click on the file and wait for the program to install. Reboot your computer when the installation finishes.
4. Run the software by double-clicking on the program's icon located on your desktop or in the 'Start' menu.
5. Create an account. Fill in the necessary information to register an account, including a user name and a password.
6. Log on to the VoIP service. Enter your account name or user name and password and then press 'Enter' on your keyboard.

1. Find a pay phone. Although they are not as prevalent as they used to, you can check for pay phones in gas stations, on street corners and near the restrooms in restaurants and bars.
2. Pick up the receiver once you find a pay phone, and then dial '1,' then '800' and then the seven-digit number. The owner of the 1-800 number pays for the service, so you do no have to worry about it.
3. Wait for the phone to ring. When you are finished with your call, hang up the phone.
