    My understanding is that the tesco internet usb phone is just a re-badged US Robotics USB phone - and there is software out there to use it with other services besides tesco's internet phone service. I've not used the phone myself though.

    Try http://www.gizmoproject.com/learnmore-allcallsfree.html - they claim to give free calls to UK landlines and unlike the VOIPStunt etc. providers, you don't need to buy credit first.

    It doesnt say free calls to landline.
    Only free Gizmo to Gizmo calls (PC to PC)
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T

    Can't see how you managed to miss the headline, free calls to mobiles and landlines, and also in the FAQ, they encourage you to call PC to PC, but if the other Gizmo user is offline you can call their landline for free, they have to be a registered Gizmo user and be active.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
