AllFreeCalls.net allows you to make free international calls from the US. It doesn’t work with all countries, so beware. Still, being able to make international calls from my cell phone for free is awesome. I wonder how they make money?
Update: Be advised…this might be a scam. Check out the quote from Garren, a commenter:
This is nothing else than Futurephone, a weird Iowa toll number that costs you at least 6 cents or more per minute. The state of Iowa, or better these bogus companies, take advantage of an FCC kickback supported by the US Universal Service Fund (USF), so the company generating the calls makes money out of the USF and you. I’m more than sure that this isn’t allowed to continue for long — that’s really not what the USF is for! Don’t get fooled by these services!
Another Update: Pat, the CEO of AllFreeCalls responded in the comments:
Hey Josh Pat here from Allfreecalls I am CEO of the company, we are fully licensed carrier and I really think that update in your post is in pretty poor taste. Garren if that is his real name is commenting anonymously and has commented with the same line on every site that allfreecalls are mentioned. Please try the service if you have any problems my full contact details are on my blog.
Wow…this is getting more exciting than I was expecting…

I have invented a hack to enable international users outside of USA to make calls via allfreecalls.net for FREE.

And I have invented a hack to enable people located on Mars to make calls outside of the USA for FREE! Still, the need for universal connectivity continues. I will work on a hack which will allow for the same from Jupiter.
