On TechCrunch yesterday I read about AllFreeCalls, a service which allows you to make international calls for the price of a long-distance call to Iowa. Since $100 of my last phone bill consisted of calls to the UK, this was just too good to ignore.
After dialing the Iowa number I was then prompted to dial my international number as normal, E.g. 011 44 131 555 5555 – An international call to the UK, City of Edinburgh, number 555-5555. It worked perfectly!
The downside of this service (apart from its undoubtedly short life expectancy) is you need to dial a heck of a lot of numbers, and if you don’t have peoples numbers committed to memory it becomes even more awkward.
Luckily there’s a trick, one I used to use to automatically dial through to regularly called extensions.
