Free 5 Minute Phone Call Anywhere (landline)

800-FREE-411

Listen to the first 20-sec ad...then you're given a list of options...one of these is:

****Free 5 minute phone call****

Follow the prompts and you're good to go.

I tried it to Alaska as well as International calls. Yep, it's really a free 5-minute call.

Oh, one thing...your call will show up on caller ID as the 800 number.

5 min long distance phone call can be valued at $10 or more depending on your plan/service

Info from Lilyofield at SD

Not bad. The international part makes this a good deal, thanks.

5 minute call to anywhere? If this is true then this is sweet...I wonder if this is a one time/call per originating number only.

Thanks OP.

EDIT: That is an honest question. I really don't see any point in having one anymore?\

number of reasons:
1) convinience of having a handset in every room of large house, combined with extra conviniense of what multi-handset phones provide, like intercom and room monitor.
2)Having young kids or old people who have trouble to operate cell. phone
3)cheap voip service offering unlimited calls to anywhere in US/CANADA/EUROPE etc like boroadvoice.com not restricted by xxx minute plan or international plan
4)reliable service where cell phone coverage is weak and providing a backup for the cell coverage interruptions.
5)reduced amount of microwave radiation and heat from cellphone compared to land line experienced during long calls.

That's weird, I tried Malaysia and it was fine.

First it took my 4 tries before I can connect.

2nd, the menu is long but finally was able to go to the "Free Call" menu

3rd, I don't think you can dial a number becuase the system ask for the city or state then the business name, if the system can not find the business name and phone number then you can not call that.

So where is the free call in that?

I just tried it, all you have to do is dial 1800free411, listen to the ad, say "free call" right away, then listen to another 20 second ad, and it prompts you to dial a number

connected right away for me, i tried 3 countries and it worked to 2 of them. so, your 3rd question is not applicable, it DOES let you dial a number.
