[BC] strange Long Distance charges

[DANA PUOPOLO]

Yes...
and here's a trick to use them....

If you have broadband, get a Free World Dialup
account(www.freeworlddialup.com). You can use it with either a soft phone
(that runs on your computer) or with a hardware solution.

Free world dialup allows for toll free calling by putting a * in front of the
800 (866,877,etc.) number. Use FWD to call the access number on the 99 cents
card.

Next, for incoming, get an ipkall account (www.ipkall.com). Ipkall will give
you a free POTS incoming line in the 360 area code (Black Diamond, WA) that
forwards to your FWD number.
 
Now you have both incoming and outgoing phone service for virtually free
(okay, so outgoing POTS calls cost a penny a minute).

You can call toll free for free and also can call any FWD subscriber (there's
over 600,000 of them!). FWD also has great (free) voice mail features.

Most other major VOIP suppliers have intertie with FWD so you can also call
them for free (Vonage has suspended theirs, but expects to start it up again
soon).

	Has anyone tried the 99 minutes for 99 cents phone cards that I see
at the local 99 cent store?  It might be worth the buck just to see if they
are any good and reasonably useable.
