Thta's amazing. Have you tried it yet? Have you received your bill yet to verify that the call is free?

It sounds great , but I must admit, I've always believed in the old adage, "if it sounds too good to be true...."

https://www.jajah.com appears to make it even easier and just as free.

<b>Michael</b>,

it appears that www.jajah.com is not totally free to most countries and it's only free to some if both are jajah members. Not the same concept.

<b>wantagig</b>,

I assume you're asking if any charges appeared on my phone bill for calling the 712 number? No charges.
I used my cellphone since I have free long distance.

So far, my results was mixed. I tried calling Hong Kong during daytime (here) on a weekday. First call I could hear the other side, but she couldn't hear me. I hanged up, and then couldn't get through for the next 5-6 dials.

I tried calling Hong Kong again over last weekend. This time it went through and both sides could hear each other. But there's definitely a lag - about half a second. Not TOO annoying, but definitely noticeable.
