Make low cost international and long distance calls from a cell phone or a regular home phone by using the V-Global Dialer to automatically rout long distance calls over the V-Global VoIP network. With the V-Global Long Distance Dialer no broadband connection is needed.
Talk time charges are 2.9c/minute to anywhere in the contiguous 48 states or Canada, 5.0c/minute to Mexico City and similar low rates to other international destinations.
V-Global provides reliable, high quality international and domestic long distance calling from home or cell phones on a simple "pay as you go" basis. V-Global successfully competes with phone cards by having no expiration date, no minimum monthly charges, no per call charges (bong) and no hidden charges.
The V-Global VoIP network can be simply accessed without the V-Global Dialer by dialing a local number from a choice of approximately 1000 USA numbers listed on the web-site. Any type of phone or its speed dialer can be used (cell phone, regular home phone, pay phone). The V-Global Dialer will seamlessly connect long distance calls from regular home phones through the V-Global network. PIN-less dialing is available by registering phone numbers (up to 5 numbers per account) on the V-Global web-site (www.V-Global.net). Call charges are based on 6 second rounding in the USA and 60 second rounding for international calls. Customers can enter their PIN code when calling from an unregistered phone, including payphones. Payphone surcharge is 65c per call.

Faxing: Then and Now
What happened in the year 1843 that would eventually impact your working life? The fashion re-emergence of the hoop dress you say? How about the publishing of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens? Though you may be of the strong opinion that the only way your boss could become less of a “Scrooge” would be through ghostly intervention, you are, unfortunately, missing the mark.
1843 was the year a Scottish inventor, Alexander Bain, developed the original concept still used in fax machines today. Though Bain’s invention – the chemical telegraph – wasn’t actually patented until December of 1846, he is still considered the “father of the facsimile.” Other inventors such as Italian physicist Giovanni Caselli and American inventor Elisha Gray also made later contributions to the development of modern fax machines, however Bain is still considered the main man.
Flash forward to 1994. While the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was going into effect and Tonya Harding’s accomplices were focusing on Nancy Kerrigan’s right leg, a young, international recording artist grew tired of missing important messages and faxes during his many travels. Drawing on his high-tech background, he set about inventing an integrated messaging network that would deliver faxes and voicemail via an already-existing, universally-accessible channel: the Internet. The artist was Jaye Muller, and the vision he developed swiftly grew into JFAX.COM, a multi-million dollar corporation that offered nothing less than a dramatic lifestyle upgrade in the way people communicated and did business in the 90s and beyond.
JFAX.COM was the world’s first and only integrated messaging capability, coupled with the ability to assign users local phone numbers in any of over 50 locations worldwide. It linked email to every fax and every phone in the world, fulfilling the dreams of the universal inbox and the virtual office. Seeing the incredible value of JFAX.COM, j2 Global Communications, Inc. purchased it in 1995 and, as a result, eFax was born.
Today, eFax is the #1 paperless faxing choice of individuals and businesses worldwide. eFax offers local and toll-free fax numbers that are tied to your email, as well as tiered faxing solutions – from free to Pro service – that meet any faxing need.
