Completely Free Calls to 28 Countries from Home Phone!

I am in a quandary! I have found a way to make completely free calls to landlines in 28 countries (including UK) plus mobiles in three countries! No registration required! No connection fee! No time-based charge! When I say FREE I mean FREE! All you need is a UK landline, computer and internet connection!
So, why am I in a quandary? Because, if I tell you how to do it, the company which offers the service will simply close down the loophole and I will lose my free calls!
So, what do I do?

But someone I PM is bound to tell someone else, who will tell someone else, who will tell someone else... who will publish it on the internet! Look what happened to the freephone number for Directory Enquiries!0 -

OK, I give in! But everyone that visits this thread must thank me, OK?
Go to www.internetcalls.com/en/callpanel.php and use the option to make FREE calls. It used to be time-limited to one minute but this has now been extended to five minutes.
Just enter your own number and destination number in international format, beginning 0044. When your phone rings, answer it and wait for the outgoing call to connect.
To call 0845 and 0870 numbers for free, just use www.internetcalls.com/en/callpanel.php to call Directory Enquiries on 0161 951 0016 and tell them the company you require. They will connect you if the number begins 01, 02 or 08.

Thanks to Redux for his thoughts on this contribution0 -
I reckon there's a couple of ways to make free calls between the landlines of 30 to 50 countries, and you don't need a landline, computer or internet connection, just a mobile and pay a few pence data cost
In fact at the moment there is also a way to call about 30 countries' landlines from a mobile for only 5 pence per call, but that isn't likely to last.
Roaming costs with a mobile might get down to 1 or 3 cents a minute, plus a couple of quid a month, but this is a tariff mistake, so 8 or 10 cents is more likely long-term
Getting mobile to mobile calls down to 4 pence a minute needs a bit more work ...
I'll swap ya some ...0 -

See my post above on how to do it for free!0 -
ok, so I wrote that post too slowly and missed your post in between
Apparently they've had some server problems recently, so maybe the reason that the availability of free trial calls has outlasted expectations is that the tracking on these was being lost.
So it's possible that if/when this ends, it won't be because they read this and stopped it, but that the loophole already wasn't meant to exist and will have been repaired.0
