The U.S. government wants to subsidize your phone calls

Thanks to some regulatory arbitrage, AllFreeCallswill let you make phone calls to many foreign countries for free.

Dial 712-858-8094, and at the prompt dial 011, the country code you are calling, and the number you wish to call.

Easy. Some of the bloggers writing about this call this “free”, but that’s a bit misleading.

Because AllFreeCalls is taking advantage of certain government subsidies, you as a taxpayer are really paying for this call.
