NetZero Voice: Another Skype Rival

Olga Kharif writes on the Businessweek Online Tech Beat Blog:

I just trialed NetZero Voice, a Skype-like VoIP service that's pretty good. It allows you to make calls from your PC no matter whether you have satellite, dial-up or broadband connection to the Internet. Just as is the case with Skype, PC-to-PC calls between NetZero customers are free, and you pay extra for PC-to-phone calls.

And NetZero has several features that Skype doesn't. NetZero comes with a free e-mail account, for example. Naturally, you also get free voicemail, free caller ID, free call waiting and call blocking. Plus, you can see a log of the calls you made online, and listen to your voicemails online. All of these features are very easy to use. You also get a free phone number when you sign up.
