RE: online calls?
Its not a program you need.  Its finding some sort of network which supports this,  the idea is sound however. I don't think many companys will give away free voice calls without a major flaw.  Perhaps you should try and find a low cost one instead although the quality of voice calls across the internet is supposed to be severly lacking

I know you can use MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger to call overseas but the person on the other end needs this program as well.
