Launched just 9 minutes ago, Allfreecalls.net, has, as it’s site puts it, “Ended The Rip-Off” and made international calls to a vast array of destinations free from the USA.
It’s a piece of simplicity to use.
No catches, no gimmicks.
Really. Check this out, here’s how you use it:
1. Dial 712-858-8094. That’s their access number and it should be free on most calling plans that allow free long distance.
2. Listen to the instructions (first in Spanish, then English)
3. Dial 011 — that’s your international access code, followed by the full international phone number of the person you wish to call. So, if you wanted to call me, you’d dial 011 44 20 8133 0929.
4. Speak. No charge.
It’s just simply a straight-forward telecoms gateway that even your granny can use.
There’s no cut off after 60 minutes a la Jajah. It’s not a VOIP service either. It’s all TDM, which is a geek way of saying, it’s proper — at the risk of being completely non-geeky, it’s like making a call with your normal service provider, so the quality should be fantastic.
The destinations available (more coming shortly): Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil (Rio De Janerio), Canada, China, Christmas & Coco’s Island, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland (Warsaw), Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, UK
If you’re in the United States, give it a go for me will you? Call me and leave a message! My SkypeIn number is +44 20 8133 0929.
The service is owned and operated by european technology entrepreneur, Pat Phelan. He’s the chap behind Roam4free which is due to launch next week. More about Pat and hs companies on his blog.
Do try out Allcallsfree.net and let me know what you think — and spread the word!
But isn’t this nothing else like Futurephone and a toll number and provided within the US only. How can these companies make money? How can they survive without business model? There is no such thing as free lunch … I’m sure the catch/scam will pop up soon!
How do they intend to make money? Audio ads?
“pretty cool” 🙂
Nothing new about this concept . Same idea as http://www.futurephone.com and
http://www.freecallstochina.com who offer more destinations.
Useful if your UK Call Package includes Free Calls to USA . Eg Sky Talk as it extends the number of destinations you can reach.

Same idea as actiontelecom.co.uk. Free international calls from O2 mobiles are very possible due to the fact it costs nothing to call certain access numbers for the customer since they’re counted from the free minutes bundle. But the telecom operator still get paid by the mobile operator.
A fuller explanation can be found on action telecom’s site.

[…] (and health) dent of Christmas, SMS Text News regular Pat Phelan and his team of merry techies had just launched a service in the USA called Allfreecalls – which gave you free international calls to umpteen different countries. Finally, it looked like […]
Do you have any free for the dominican republic! i went to Yak4ever but the acess number they gave me wouldn’t accept DOminican republic calls!
Hi Guys,
Well Futurephone is no more at least till this court case is over. This could take a long time. The longer the better for AT&T.
Reading through the court case between AT&t and defendants this certainly is an interesting case.
It begs other new VoIP companies to watch their step. It is one thing to be competitive but any using the methods in question could have a short future. They will certainly be watched and could easily be included in this case.
It may be tempting to offer access numbers for free or cheap international calling, but it could be short lived if they are using these methods.
If you want to ‘play safe’ and use a company offering good featured services at very low cost try Global1touch.
I am using this very successfully to call internationally.
Have a look here: http://www.global1touch.com/world
Look around at the facilities and watch the video.
It is rapidly growing in features and has an expanding membership worldwide.
