Why pay?

for faxes, calls to other countries, conference calls, voice transciption, videoconferencing, 411

PC World has sifted through all the free and "free" services available on the Web and has published a list of 19 free web services that will save you money. So it's not just cool widgets that you've lived your whole life without (and could continue to live without). No, these are services that you might well be paying for this very minute. There's fax service, long-distance calling (worldwide!), conference calls, text-messaging, videoconferencing and a few others. I wish I could say I've tried them out, but I just haven't had the time and what with the press deadline approaching...You know how it is.
If you try one or more of these free services, how about leaving a comment for other readers?
