You can place calls to regular phone numbers through a Personal Phone Gateway (PPG). You call will travel over the Internet to the PPG and if the call is placed to a number in the local calling area of the phone line to which the PPG is connected, your call will be free - even if you are placing it from the other side of the world!

You can use your own personal PPG or any PPG that the owner has given you permission to use, there are demonstration PPGs installed in the U.S. and Hong Kong that enable you to place limited time calls to regular phone numbers in the U.S. and Hong Kong.
