Computer(Internet) to a Skype mobile:

Recently Skype has launched Skype for mobiles. These skype mobiles are available in few countries listed in their website http://skype.com/. We can receive calls from any skype user in the world and we can call any skype user in the world. Caller can call from a computer to a skype mobile.

Computer(Internet) to a regular phone(regular Landline or Mobile):

Still many are in the false assumption, that we cannot call from a computer to a normal phone. Even many think calls made from computer will not be as clear as the calls made from landline. But today we are using broadband in many places of the world.. and there is lot of improvement in the quality of sound for the calls made from computer.

We can use Yahoo messenger or Skype or similar products to make calls to landlines. For using this facility we need to purchase call credit from them. For using Yahoo messenger, we need to sign up in http://www.voice.yahoo.com/ to purchase call credit. This is called Phone out credit. Once we have enough credit in our account, we can call any landline/mobile in the world using Yahoo messenger. This is pretty cheap compared to normal call charges we pay for landline/mobile.
