Calling me for free (from the U.S.)
Because I signed up for an unreliable program called VoxOx, it appears that you can dial 818-495-2767 (an ordinary LA number), which will ring my cell phone in France. It appears to cost me $.02 per call, which is nothing. You can also send text messages to it, although I probably won't respond unless I'm near a computer, in which case why not gchat. You can also try calling my 415-680-3612 number, but it appears to have some problems forwarding to the 818 number. Go to it! But only between the hours of 5 am and 6 pm EST.

Why the funny hours? They don't seem to line up with off-peak for any of the time zones.
Those are the hours I'm pretty sure to be awake. The call is free at all times, except for your minutes.
seems similar to icall. but i think voxox is the first cheap program i have heard in a long time for calling to europe. would be great if they would offer the same for calls to asia. my friend is in geneva and i think she calls directly. btw, hows your knee?
This might actually work for calling Asia -- since it seems to be a Voxox bug, maybe it works for any number at all. Also, a correction -- calling seems to be completely free, not 2 cents per call. I've updated the post to reflect that. And my knee is doing better -- thanks for asking!
