Free PC to phone international and domestic calls across 40 countries including India

Nowadays VOIP calls get more popularity due to the cheap rates. People were using Gizmo5  service to do free international VOIP  calls to mobile and land phones from PC but after the acquisition of this company by Google, new registration of Gizmo service has been suspended from Nov 2009. But the current Gizmo5 users can continue to avail the service.  Another popular VOIP service is Skype. Through Skype subscribers can do free PC to PC calls and premium PC to Mobile/ land line calls. The call rates of Skype is economical but to India it is still costly because India has very stringent telecome rules. Moreover Indian telecom companies charging high rates for call routing.

I came across a site “Tutalk” offers 100% free international calls from/to over 40 countries all over the world. Something looking fishy? Let’s go through the details.

The site requires simple user registration procedures and a PC based application required to be downloaded. Through this application you can make free international calls to 40 countries all over the world. Currently this software supports  Windows Vista, XP, and Windows Mobile.

How it works?

Tuitalk offers free international and domestic phone calls because of  advertisers. Before your call connects, you will watch a short video ad (30 seconds max) and you will view banner ads during your free phone call. These advertisers are sponsoring your free phone calls and you can click on the ads without disconnecting your free phone call.
