Express Talk VoIP Softphone

Make phone calls using your PC, Mac or Pocket PC

Express Talk works like a telephone to let you make calls through your computer. You can call anyone via the internet who also has a softphone installed. You can also call regular telephone numbers if you have signed up with a broadband phone company or have a VoIP PBX. Connect your webcam and Express Talk will work as a video phone.

Calls computer to computer are always free. You can also call ordinary 'real' telephone numbers anywhere in the world if you sign up with a VoIP gateway service company. See here for some recommended telephone gateway companies.

Express Talk Basic is completely free

We make Express Talk free in the hope that users might like to upgrade to Express TalkBE Business Edition. Extra features include call conferencing, the ability to transfer calls, call recording, push to talk and more advanced configuration options. You can download a free trial of Express Talk Business Edition here, or purchase online here.

Express Talk is suitable for use with free VoIP Virtual PBx Systems. If you are looking for a complete telephone system to run on your office server read here.

SIP Service Providers

With Express Talk you could potentially call someone using their internet IP (eg. "bob@123.222.333.444") but this is not usually practical. It is much easier to use a friendly address like "bob@myphoneco.com". To have this you need to sign up with a SIP proxy service. This is almost always free to signup for and usually requires nothing more than an email address. See our SIP Recommended Service Providers List for a list of options.

Some of the companies also provide gateway services. This means cheap phone calls to ordinary (non internet) lines. They are particularly cheap for international calls since you only pay the local call rates.
