MONEY FOR
NOTHING AND CHICKS FOR FREE..... |

Would You
Settle For Free Long Distance?
O.K. So you
cant get money for nothing and chicks for free.... But you can get free long
distance. After searching the
“Net”, we found two services that offer free long distance in exchange for
very little of your time and effort.
Now, in
searching the “Net” we found tons of hits for free long distance. So first we eliminated all the ones that offered things like
“Fridays free”, etc., or buy 30 min., get 30 min. free.
We then eliminated all the ones that stated, “we are not a multi level
marketing plan, we are a referral network” (looks like a duck, quacks like a
duck...). After all, when we mean
free we mean FREE.... As in No Money, Not A Penny!
So, can you
really call for free?
Yes you can!
Now, we are
not talking about Internet calls (voice over IP).
You know, the services that make you call from a computer connected to
the Net, to a computer connected to the Net.
No, we
wanted phone to phone. Be it pay
phone, cell phone, office phone, or calling Grandma in small town USA.
So how did
we do? We found lots of interesting
offers and some downright nutty marketing scams.....
Then we
found TWO REAL DEALS!
The first
one is from a company called Broadpoint. The
have a deal called “Free Call”. They
refer to the service as “sponsored communication”.
That means someone else pays for the call. The service is easy to use and access. The most time consuming part is signing up at their web site.
Now, don’t go thinking that it’s really hard or time consuming.
I completed the sign up in about four minutes.
After
signing up, the company gives you a toll free number to call in on. After dialing in you enter your pin number.
Then you get to earn your free calls.
Every 15-second commercial you listen to, gives you two minutes of phone
time. You can accumulate your time
to make a long call, but unfortunately you cannot “bank” your time.
So if you need to make a one-hour call, you can build up the minutes; but
if you get an answering machine or are on the line a very short time, you lose
the minutes you built up. Should
your time be running out, about 30 seconds before the clock runs out, you get a
warning ‘beep”, so you can finish up the call.
The main
thing to remember is not to share your pin number.
Not even with other family members.
Each person wishing to use the service must have his or her own pin
number. Now this does not mean that
the family can’t call grandma and pass the phone from person to person.
It is really very simple. The
person placing the call must use his or her own pin number.

The other
service we found is called Free For All. At this time Free For All is in the
building stages. I do not want to
say they are not yet functioning because their web site is up, and they have set
up some “free calls” on sponsored calling cards.
But when they are up and running the basics will be the same as Free
Call. The big difference is both the caller and the person you are calling hear
the ads. That’s right, everyone
hears the ads. So make sure you don’t mind if the person you’re calling
hears the ads. Also make sure the
person you’re calling does not mind hearing the ads.
They may not want to. This
service is also supposed to do targeted ads.
Tailored to your likes etc. But
things are still in the “works” so to say.
It may pay to bookmark their page and check on things from time to time.
In the future the company is hoping to offer not only “Free” long
distance, but also they hope to put some cash back into your pocket!

That’s Net
not Com, there is another company at Com.
Personally I
think I liked Broadpoint’s Free Call idea the best.
The main reason is only I hear the ads.
I don’t want the people I’m calling to know I’m too cheap to pay
for the call.
Now if
you’re thinking “Who Cares”, after all you are only paying about 6 or 7
cents a minute for your long distance, so who needs “Free”?
Think about this. When was the last time you got stuck with a long distance bill from the hotel you stayed at? Free would have been nice! Or what about that relative that always calls collect? Or your kids calling collect, as they don’t have money for the pay phone. Hey, let them use Free Call or Free For All!
