On the Cheap - FREE International Long Distance

I was listening to Clark Howard earlier today, and he was mentioning Pingo.com as a cheap way to call internationally. I can one-up that with a FREE alternative for calling internationally. Sign up for a service called Jajah. It even has a no strings one call trial. The trick here is to have your friends and family around the world sign up for the service, since calls between Jajah users are completely free. You can even have multiple numbers assigned to you. The site itself is VERY self-explanatory, so I won’t weigh down this blog with detailed instructions.

In my next installment of “On the Cheap,” I have an alternative to your current cellular phone plan, reducing cost by potentially changing to a different rate plan. NOTE: this suggestion only applies if you are with T-Mobile, Alltel, or another company that has a “MyCircle” or “MyFaves” like option for your account.
