… then you might want to use Jajah services. This is a tip I found on Guy Kawasakis Blog http://blog.guykawasaki.com/
Free Calls for Christmas from Jajah
Jajah* http://www.jajah.com/ will provide free global phone service between consumers in eighty countries on Christmas Day. Registered Jajah users will be able to make free calls, conference calls, scheduled calls, and text messages to anyone in the eighty countries even if the recipients are not in registered Jajah users.
For example, families can use Jajah to get the whole family together (up to ten people) for a free conference call. The registered user can set up the call on Christmas day or schedule the call in advance anytime between now and Christmas. Again, the only family member who needs to be a registered user is the person who sets up the call.

The numbers called do not need to be registered Jajah users
Callers must be registered Jajah users (registration is cost and obligation free)

Company Info
JAJAH is a new type of phone company. We are dedicated to providing our customers with better phone at a better price. It’s that simple. "The internet has touched us all. It’s changed the way we do everyday things. It’s changed the way we stay informed, the way we shop for the products we want, even the way we find and listen to music. In the same way, JAJAH will change the way we all use the telephone".
JAJAH is dedicated to bringing the world vastly improved telephony solutions at a fraction of the traditional price. Whenever possible, we want to provide basic phone for free – and we truly believe it’s possible. We believe that by bringing together the best of the internet with the best of the traditional telephone industry we will be able to provide our customers with unique new solutions, solutions never before possible, at a price they’ll find irresistible.
Unlike other companies that are trying to replace the phone with the computer, JAJAH believes that phones are great the way they are. Phones work. People are not interested in headsets, downloads or hotspots. They simply want to make a call. And we completely agree.
About JAJAH
JAJAH is a true “flat world” company with very small offices of very dedicated people working around the globe. It was started in 2005, the brainchild of founders Daniel Mattes and Roman Scharf and went live in February of 2006. We work globally, we think globally. We see a better future, where the people of the planet can talk to each other at a price they can afford.
