FireFly is an Internet Phone program, that allows you to talk to friends anywhere in the world, using the Internet and the free Firefly software. The interface is very easy to use, just punch the number of your (Firefly) contact, or select it from the address book. The program also includes a voicemail feature to keep track of calls while you are away or talking to someone else. The program uses your internet connection and voice over IP technology, so there is no charge for these calls. The people you call however need to have the FireFly software installed. We tested the software with an international call (USA to Canada and Australia), and the voice quality was excellent. The program can also make calls to regular landline phones, however this is based on a per minute charges.

Firefly is a fully featured softphone with instant messaging and voicemail for Home, Business, Schools or anyone wanting to communicate around the world for free.

The term softphone is short for software telephone. Firefly is a VoIP Softphone, that's just a fancy way of saying Internet Telephone. A softphone is essentially an Internet telephone that allows you to make free phone calls to other people who are also running Firefly on their computers.

You can make phone calls to any other Firefly users anywhere in the world. That in itself is a great thing and you also get instant messaging to other Firefly users, as well as your own Voicemail box so people can leave you a message when you are unavailable or not on the Internet.
