Access Number based free calling services are back in Business. The good old AllFreeCalls.net and Yak4ever closed down due to issues with local Telecom providers, but it seems there are more VOIP companies exploring this option to make some money off this route.
ZeroCents a canadian free long distance provider offering free calls within Canada only. I am not a canadian but it seems that calling within Canadian provinces is like a long distance call, so you will be charged lot more than calling within your local area. e.g: I am in toronto and I want to call Vancouver, I would be charged more than a local toronto call.
Now ZeroCents promises to reduce this "extra" cost by routing your call through their VOIP network. How do they make money? By running a 5 secs audio advertisement at the start of your call. Unfortunately, their website has no information basides the list of access number and cities you can call via their VOIP network.
With these service mushrooming in the VOIP Market, consumers will have more choice but we see lack of innovation and these service will fade away as more competition comes up. AllFreeCalls.net and Yak4ever were really one of the best services when it comes to access number based Free international calls. You could call 40 countries + with their services, but calling within Canada with access number probably wouldn't make me jump with joy.
Maybe fellow Canadians can enlighten me, if they see any value in this Free Long Distance Calling Service for Canada. I strongly suggest a better service called ViaTalk Free, a Phone to Phone service which lets you make free calls to USA and Canada from USA.
