Free unlimited inbound calling
All inbound calls to your Laptop are always FREE no matter where you are in the world. Remember, cell phone companies charge you for incoming minutes and are extremely expensive when you are outside of the USA. This means that a person can call your TalkParade Laptop phone number while you're in London and the call is absolutely FREE.

Make and receive calls from anywhere on the planet
Laptop phone service is different from regular phone service in that it does not matter where you are when making a call. Because our service uses the Internet, we never know your physical location. So, if you are in Paris and want to call New York, you will not be charged international rates. For example: If you have our unlimited calling plan, all calls to a USA/Canada phone number are completely FREE whether you are calling from California, China, London or the Moon.
Stand alone service
Unlike other broadband phone companies, we do not require that you use our Home or Office phone service before you can sign up for our Laptop SoftPhone. We're sure that once you try our Laptop service, you will switch to TalkParade for all your calling needs.
Combine your Home or Office plan with your Laptop
For customers who already have our Home or Office plan, for just $5 more per month, we can have your TalkParade phone number ring to your Laptop simultaneously. You can either answer the call from your telephone or Laptop, it's your choice. Whichever phone picks up first will answer the call.
