Ali Tong Internet Phone - Long distance calls at your disposal

To be honest, although telephone charges seem to be very cheap nowadays, for me who works outside, the monthly telephone bill back home is quite astonishing when it finally adds up! Especially after my mother came over. She has never been far away from her hometown since she got married in Zhongshan. You can imagine how much she misses her family. Moreover, my mother doesn't understand Mandarin and can't communicate with the neighbors around her. She loves chatting and can't stand loneliness. So she often chats on the phone with my father, elder sister, second sister, brothers-in-law, and nephews for a long time without noticing the time. I feel heartache watching her but can't say anything. It's hard for her too! This is a big expense. Another one is that my wife is now on maternity leave, and coincidentally, only my mother-in-law is at home. My wife worries about my mother-in-law being lonely at home, so she calls home every two or three days. Remember, these are all domestic long-distance calls! There is no landline at home, and mobile phones are used. IP phone calls cost at least 50 cents per minute. By the end of the month, half of my poor salary has to be handed over to the mobile company. Can you blame me for feeling heartache?

This can't go on forever, right? What to do? I heard there are free phone calls online, usually giving you a few minutes after registration. But actually, I've tried many of them. The call quality is really not satisfactory. The call is either interrupted frequently, or there are echoes, or what the other party says takes a long time to reach my ears. It's even slower than sending messages by pigeon, making communication impossible!

Fortunately, today I finally found a pretty good network phone (for me) - AliTalk Network Phone. After registration, it gives you 3.5 minutes. At first, I registered an account with a try-it-out attitude, and sure enough, I was given 3.5 minutes. I successfully dialed my home number and chatted with my father for a while. I asked my father how the sound was? Could he hear clearly? My father, who has slightly impaired hearing, clearly told me that he could hear very clearly!
