Free VOIP Phone Calls?
I haven't made a post in a while because I am extremely busy with new business but I thought this warranted a quick post.
In the light of Skype now offering free calls to USA and Canada it had made everyone think about phone calls a little bit differently. Phone calls just got a whole lot cheaper and Skype have set a benchmark. Skype is of course the most popular VOIP provider and actually one of the cheapest. It's not until you dig deeper and look at the companies without such a large front that you actually start to see real VOIP value.
I dont know how they do it but VOIPStunt seem to be pulling a stunt by offering 300 minutes of free calls to a number of destinations around the world.
They offer Free calls to any regular landline in:

Looking at the software its just like skype but a little less bloated. I typed in my number and it was calling 2 seconds later. I was amazed.
There truly is such a thing as a free lunch.
Of course there is going to be some fine print but it's nothing too unexpected:
* 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). If limit is exceeded, a minimal rate of 1ct/min will be charged (as shown in the VoipStunt software).
So i's obvious here that they want people to use the service so much that they exceed 300mins and buy some credit. 1c/min is actually cheaper than Skypes global rate anyway so I think we have a real contender here.
Moral of the Story: Just when the big guys release something amazing and great, don't forget the little guys could already have something that kills it :D
It’s usually the big guys doing something great cuz they’re fearful something the little guy did COULD kill them (we just haven’t seen in yet cuz the little guy’s marketing $$ doesn’t go as far as AT&T’s or Cablevision’s, etc).

Free calls offered by Skype, Spokn and many more are just a tool garner a bigger user base they hope to monetize in future. Free calls aren’t going to stay for ever though. So enjoy till it lasts.
Here talk is cheap. Then, later, you have to pay a little bit more and more and more. Yet, I’m grabbing. It’s free, y’know.
Please try to talk on computer and purchase a head phone set.

Hey I wnt to their website and it did not say free calls to Latvia but your blog sais it. So what is wrong? Please make shure!
This is an old post buddie, maybe they no longer do free calls to latvia. In any case checkout their rate list of even try skype - a good alternative.
Its a shame you cant get free calls to some more exciting destinations. Like some light reliwef on the phone. At least there are cheap alternatives out there.
Looks rather similar doesn’t it….
