Free International Phone Calls!

[kitkat953]

A new company is promising unlimited, free international calling from the U.S. to 55 countries. According to Futurephone, "We're offering this service for free in order to build up the company's brand-name recognition. Our plan is to offer additional services in the future."

You can call from any telephone (you don't have to fuss with VOIP software on your computer.) Start by dialing Futurephone's gateway at 1-712-858-8883 (located in Iowa.) Follow the voice prompts to choose your language, then dial 011 followed by the international telephone number. In a few seconds, you'll be connected to that number.

(If you need to look up the international country and city codes for your call, check out How To Call.info. )

Futurephone's home page lists the countries that it supports. The company says there are no strings attached, and it seems to be true. (I heard no advertising, either .) Futurephone says the service will remain free until 2010.

I imagine you still have to pay long-distant phone call to Iowa to connect to the FuturePhone's gate way. But hey, if you pay international phone call for inter-state phone calls and it's cheaper then go ahead.

Unless you happen to have a service that gives you unlimited domestic calling (such as Comcast Digital Voice). :D

Or if you have a cell plan with LD included ...

Since you can call any number in the US for free thru Skype, why don't you use skype to call 1-712-858-8883 and you don't have to pay for domestic nor international calls if you don't have free domestic calling plan . :)
