Hi guys I tried this today and it works. The free 411 service # is 1-800-373-3411 or 1800 free411 has a new feature you can now make free calls on this #. All you do is dial the # above and listen for the instruction. They will say residential, business a few other things and then she says free call. When you get to the pause say Free call. You then hear a sponsors message and after that you simply type in 011 506 and the # you want to call. It gives you a free 5 min. call and you can use it as often as you like. Give it a try Old Herman would not tell you wrong. I will be in CR Monday so I hope to see a few of the guys. As always Take Care and be safe Uncle H. |

I can think of a few businesses in CR that might tout this instead of an 800 number (full disclosure by them that you'd be subjected to a commercial first, of course). Any legit way a business can cut expenses for themselves or their customers and give themselves a competitive edge by being savvy, is a good thing. Thanks for the tip, Herman. |

Vonage, MagicJack and other alternatives are excellent but you can't have too many arrows in the quiver. |

If I'm not mistaken, this is for calling CR- Vonage and the others are great for calling the States from CR, but to do the reverse is expensive even with them, this is a great tip. |

Do you have to call another Skype phone with Skype?- I don't know. This one lets you call both home and cell for free. |

I second Google Voice. You can also use it to make calls from ANY telephone if you are in the US. Not just your phone or a computer. It had been open to new users by invitation only but I believe that it is open to all now with no invitation necessary. |

I just checked for this and it's still invitation only. You can request an invite and they'll get one to you when they get around to it. |

CasaV asked about SKYPE !! I use it all the time. If I call someone in the states who does not have it, it costs me 2.1 cents per minute. If the person I call has SKYPE the call is free. A friend and I talk often and have talked for over an hour a few time with no cost. Same thing if someone calls me from the states on SKYPE; it is free. I buy time $10 at a time and mi Nica amiga uses most of that calling her family in Nicaragua (about 20 cents per minute) |
