Make a Call From PC to Cell
Once upon a time, you had to use a phone to make a phone call. Modern technology has provided alternatives that allow you to call another person's cell phone--even if you don't have a phone or your own phone's battery is dead. Several computer programs allow you to use your computer instead of a phone to make calls, and some even allow you to assign a phone number to your computer to receive incoming calls.
Instructions
1. Choose the program you wish to use to make calls from your computer. Skype is a popular choice, but there are plenty of alternatives such as iCall and Yahoo! Voice.
2. Download the program you chose in Step 1, if applicable. Some programs work directly from your browser, while others need to be downloaded.
3. Follow any installation or set-up steps as prompted by your program.
4. Buy minutes or talk time in your new program, if applicable. Most programs charge a fee for calling a phone. Some allow free calls to others using the same program. You will need to enter a valid credit or debit card for this step if your program is not free.
5. Enter the phone number of the cell phone you wish to call into your new program, then press the button that says "Call" or something similar.
