To make a call, all you need is your friend's phone number. It's as easy as picking up your telephone and calling someone. If the friend you're trying to reach is not online, you can even leave a voice message.

You can also call from your PC to any regular phone worldwide, at a fraction of normal international and long-distance call charges. With the latest release 7.2, you can even make free calls from your PC to any regular phone in the US, by using a Web site connected to the program.

Besides AOL support, the latest release offers official ICQ support so that you can voice-chat over the ICQ network with your ICQ buddies.

Nice extras include a full-featured phone book, caller ID and call log. Most importantly, it has excellent sound quality--even with a slow modem.

Besides an easy-to-use interface and great features, the user can enjoy many more value-added services, including VoizMail, TalkZone and myTalky.
