VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology is not exactly new; what is new is version 4.02.487 of the VoIP Stunt software that allows you to contact landlines directly from your Internet connected machine, for free (almost). Certain landline destinations are indeed free, but there are some that will require a small fee, smaller than the one charged by similar services.

“VoIPStunt is a free program that uses the latest technology to bring free and high-quality voice communications to people all over the world. When you use the free VoIPStunt software, you can call regular phones in various popular destinations for free or call at an incredible low rate to any other phone on the planet,” says Betamax GmbH & Co KG, the service provider behind the VoIPStunt software.


Here is a quick and not so short list of landline destinations that you can call with VoIPStunt 4.02.487 at no charge whatsoever: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russian Federation, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the good old US of A.

There is no denying that the reigning king in this department is Skype. The thing is that not even Skype can compete with VoIPStunt in terms of affordability – the small fee that Skype charges is trumped by the free services that VoIPStunt has to offer, not to mention that whenever VoIPStunt cannot provide free calls, it will charge a sum of money that is even lower in value than Skype’s. Sounds too good to be true? Well, as you may have guessed there is a catch – you cannot benefit from these free calls unless you credit your VoIPStunt account first (the minimum amount is of about $12, sum that will remain in your account and will be at your disposal for a period of 4 months). If you are really getting into this talk for free business, you probably will not notice, or will care much about the fact that VoIPStunt has some shortcomings – no video conferences, no instant messaging, and not too many settings.
