Truphone Mobile Voip is an application for mobile phones that lets you call other Truphone users, and Skype and Google Talk users, for free over a wi-fi network. It also gives cheap international call rates, and when abroad you can avoid expensive roaming charges by accessing a wi-fi network. The software works worldwide, whatever country you’re in. Works on the iPhone, and turns your iPod Touch and iPad into a phone.

You can save money by making cheap international calls to landlines and mobiles, and if you don’t have access to a wi-fi network, you can still save on international calls as Truphone will route the international part of your call over the internet – you pay for the local part of your call and a low cost rate for the international part.

Because of abuse 1-800-FREE411 has discontinued its free calls service. This was due to abuse of the free long distance call service by VOIP callers overseas.

1-800-Free411 give free long distance calls and free international phone calls to continental USA residents. The calls have a limit of 5 minutes, but there is no limit to the number of calls you can make. The service is simple to use – dial 1-800-free411 (1-800-373-3411) and then listen to the instructions – select ‘free call’ then enter your international or long distance phone number.

The calls are free because you have to listen to two short adverts, but as there is no limit on the number of free 5 minute calls you can make in one day, it’s not bad for a completely free service. There is no registration required, you just dial, and many countries are supported on their free international call service. The 1-800-Free411 website gives a full list of the countries that you can call using this service, and it’s a comprehensive list.
