Dear Rebbes of GYE,
Great News! After much research, I have found a great program that allows a person up to
300 minutes free per week of calls within the USA (from anywhere in the world I think). Given that most 12 step groups meet 4 times a week and are about an hour each, this program would cover all expenses and minutes needed for these groups!
How it Works: It basically is a phone that works through the internet instead of a normal telephone line. This means that one will need speakers (and a mic to contribute) to run the program.
Benefits: This program is extremely helpful for those who worry about financial commitment to a large phone plan or confidentiality concerning their need for help. Using this program for the phone conferences will not rack up a phone bill or minutes on one's account. This is perfect for those not already paying for their own phone usage (yeshiva bochrim) or people' whose spouses occasionally look at the phone bill.
No spyware, no spam. It is incredibly easy to use. No need to enter credit card or billing information. It works even with intense k9 filtering on my computer ( no website exceptions needed to be made) and has great call quality.
Steps: 1. Download/install the program from
www.voipcheap.com. 2. Make a username through the program ( no credit card needed)
3. Punch in the phone number desired and walla!
That's it!
I thought that the olam should know about it with the upcoming restart of Duvid Chayim's group. I'm eagerly awaiting the sessions and can't wait to become a part of such a holy chevra.
Maybe we could mention it in one of the daily e-mails?
Thank you so much for your time,
"BeReal"
