does any know how to make free longdistance calls?

hi there

has anyone figured out a way on the BB to make free long distance calls with north america?

i was looking at the Vonage App, but i am not sure how good it is and if there is a better alternative?

thanks in advance

I gte free long distance with my carrier. You could try google voice. I've heard it works pretty good.

GV doesn't work out of canada,

I get free long distance from Bell, so I haven't had to use any apps

but as a Vonage user for my home phone, they are a pretty solid provider

i have bell as well.. but the plan doesnt include LD...

Only way would be if you had a BB with wifi and were trying out the IM+ for Skype beta.

thanks xopher

if i cant make free calls..

any good service available to make some cheap calls within north America?

thanks

there are many VOIP apps available but I'm not sure if theres any available for the BB platform.

If you have Vonage at home, then you can use it to make long distance calls - using an app called Vonforward available in teh BB App world. You specify your vonage login info and provide the intended # to be called - the app sets the intended # as teh call forward # and dials your home phne (local call) and your vonage # in turn calls the long distance #s. I use it for making international calls from my blackberry but using my vonage phone.

just walk over to your neighbor's and tell them you need to borrow his phone to test your cell number.
