(There are many no-cost ones such as pbxes, ekiga, etc.) The IPKall number does need at least one incoming call per 30 days to keep it alive. That can be satisfied by a call to it from your GV number. The only hardship is remembering to make that call!
Quote from: carl on November 03, 2014, 07:31:51 PMGoogle voice with obi will work in Germany and other European countries without any problems once set up in the U.S. My mother used to use GV on Obi 100 for extended period of time overseas, however we moved away from GV recently. She can call me on my i-num even from her cell phone for free and for other us calls she can use Localphone for 0.5c/min. GV is not worth the hassle.

Quote from: carl on November 10, 2014, 05:20:30 PMUnfortunately, I-num is near death and not very reliable. However, for communication with friends/family where you are both customers of the same i-num provider- for example you are both Localphone customers-the i-num call gets connected internally even if the system is down.

Quote from: carl on November 11, 2014, 03:42:01 PMOne problem with " free' is that either someone has to subsidize it- with i-num it's companies which provide them, like Localphone, Callcentric or voip.ms- or it's free but you are the product.
