[Tyson Clugg]

Some inspiration to get into Freeworld Dialup (FWD, http://www.freeworlddialup.com/) now since they offer free calls to landlines in:
  a.. Australia
  b.. Canada
  c.. China
  d.. Germany
  e.. Israel
  f.. Italy
  g.. UK
  h.. US
Some examples of how to make free calls from your FWD connected SIP phone:
  a.. Melbourne Wireless fax machine - AU: (03) 9542 7990 ==> *61 3 9542 7990
  b.. Telstra BigPond billing and sales - AU: (02) 9242 0213 ==> *61 2 9242 0213
  c.. Telstra BigPond tech support - AU: 133 933 ==> *61 133 933
  d.. 8000-REVERSE (reverse charge calls from US to AU) - US: 1800 7383773 ==> *1800 7383773

  Free Calling now into: Australia, China Germany, Israel, Italy, UK
  During the past week, I've been engaged in a "social experiment" with regard to Free World Dialup and my decision to offer free calling into the USA and Canada for the holiday season.

  Part of this experiment is to track the viral word-of-mouth of how new people are discovering Free World Dialup and to observe the dialing and usage patterns of our community.

  This experiment has now been extended to include Free calling into the following countries:

  Australia, China Germany, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom.

  Except for calls into the USA/Canada, it is not possible to place calls to mobile phones.

  To place a call, dial: * [country code] number on Free World Dialup.

  For example:
  --
  USA/Canada: *1 
  Australia: *61 
  China: *86
  Germany: *49
  Italy: *39
  Israel: *972
  UK: *44
  --

  My hope is that our promotion will help some families and friends stay in closer touch during this holiday season.
