If have tried calling the country of Colombia without success.

United Kingdom seems to work though.

EDIT: Edited for spelling correction.

Note: some users on the Slickdeals.net forums have alleged charges apearing on their phone bill after using the service.

Lionsault, there would be no point. You call an iowa number, and then from there you get the phone call free to one of their countries.

If it worked in the USA, you'd pay long distance to call the iowa number, and then get the connected call free.

Those noticing charges were just seeing normal long distance charges. They recommend using a phone that has free domestic long distance so the entire call is free.United States of America is not listed in the list of available countries (I don't think it would cost much to try).

One would not necessarily pay long distance to Iowa (think of an Iowa resident).

That's because they are to stupid to read the way the service works. It says in black and white that the call to Iowa could be a charge call for some people. Many people have unlimited calls to anywhere in the USA, others have free nights and weekends to call long distance for free. Once the Iowa call is placed, be it free or a long distance call, then the call transfers to the overseas number for free.

If they are to stupid to understand that it's possible that they may incur long distance charges to call Iowa, then that's their fault. It's not like that information is not in black and white, these people need to learn to read how the service is set up.

Cool, you can all call me now :)

I can call there for free anyway, I have a Vonage IL virtual number ;)

Even with Vonage a call to Ukraine would cost me $.13 cents a minute

Ukraine 380 $0.13

...And Kazakhstan.

YAGSHEMACH! lol

With Vonage, a call to Kazakhstan would cost me even more, $.17 cents a minute.
Kazakhstan 730-33, 7338, 7570-71, 7573 $0.17

What's strange is I looked to see what a virtual number would cost for Ukraine or Kazakhstan and see they don't offer them, even stranger is I was able to get one for the Mid East for $4.99 a month, but they took off these options for new customers.....Glad I got it when I did I suppose :)

Usually IDT has cheap rates, but Vonage kicks their ass for calling Ukraine and Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan
IDT Worldsaver Everywhere 31.1¢ per minute
IDT Basic International 94.1¢ per minute

Ukraine
IDT Worldsaver Everywhere 20¢ per minute
IDT Basic International 34.4¢ per minute

Skype should not charge for calls placed within United States of America or Canada to United States of America or Canada through the year ending 2006.

I use Yahoo PhoneIn/Out.

Its not free... Costs $2.99 a month for a phone number, and 2 cents aminutes for calls to US/canada.. international rates vary, but UK is 2 cents also I believe.

I have had it for 3 months now and used 80 cents of my initial 10 dollar phone out card :) (I also picked a 609 number so that its a lcoal call for my family back home :) )

No, the only charge you could be charged is the call from your location to Iowa. Then the call is routed to overseas for free.

used for a while now http://www.voipstunt.com/en/index.html
i never paid anything and the great thing about it is that it calls the destination number and it can call you number too at the same time (connect you and your destination) so you don't have to talk on the computer with the headset. i like this one better because i'm sure of what i'm doing since it is a skype type of program that shows how many minutes and what such things. since i never entered any credit card infos, they say that i do not have enough credit when i try to make a phone call that is not free.

now the dirty: "Max 300 minutes per week of free calls, measured over the last 7 days. Unused free minutes cannot be taken to the following week(s)."
Free* calls to any regular landline in:
Argentina
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Chile
Denmark
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany
Hong Kong (+mobile)
Iceland
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg
Malaysia
Monaco
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Portugal
Puerto Rico (+mobile)
Russian Federation
Singapore (+mobile)
South Korea
Spain
Sweden
Taiwan
United Kingdom
United States (+mobile)

MAKE SURE you DO NOT PUT any CREDIT in your ACCOUNT if you don't know what your doing.

What I mean to say, is it a charge for the person I am calling? I am okay with it being free for me, but I want to make sure it's free for the person I am calling too and the charges aren't just being dumped on them.

No, the call is free on their end.
