seen here in the US, most ppl dont offer free phone service. Some ISPs offer free internet calling from PC-PC, lie my dad has NetZero, and they do that but you cant make landline phone calls.
there are some VOIP providers here though.
the major one is Vonage Broadband Phone service, they connect their phone modem to your broadband modem, and that how you get your service. its also very inexpensive, $24.99 for unlimited local and long distance phone calls throught the US, Canda and Puerto Rico, and i think its $1.99 per minute international calls.
Another big one is Skype internet phone, its free PC-PC calls and i think $5.99 per month for landline calls.
Alot of ppl here though dont even have landline phones, alot of ppl just use cell phones, and then use the cell phone carriers broadband wifi service.
for example my grandparents travel quite extensively, so they have Verizon Wireless cell phone, and then they also have Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband service. they have a card that slips into the PCMCIA Type II slot, and they use it almost everywhere, and it costs $59.99 permonth, and has speeds of up to 1MB/S download, and 256KB upload.
