Free 5 Minute International Calls using Skype

Ever wanted to make a quick international call just to say hi, sick of having to install weird Voip programs that also only let you call for 5 minutes? Well heres a quick tutorial to get 5 minutes free international calling using skype!

• Firstly you need to update to the latest version of skype, if not you can easily download this from skype.com. Then sign into your skype account

• Down the bottom of your skype window you will see a small button down the bottom saying “Call Phones” Click this and the dial pad should appear on your screen, you need to click into the box and dial +118003733411 you do not need credit for this as Skype allows you to call USA free call numbers free via skype.

• For a start once the number answers you will hear a few voice advertisments and then you will be put through to the main menu, It will ask to say a few things and you must say “Free Call” once it mentions it.\

• Sometimes you will get put through to a message saying “Sorry all our free call lines are busy” but if you try a few times you should be able to get through. Once through you need to bring up the dialpad by pressing the Button with nine dots in the shape of a phone keypad up by the volume controls on your call window and enter the calling code and local number

• Once you enter the number and press # your call will be connected and after 5 minutes you will be cut off, but I am sure you can just ring back and call again as many times as you want. At the moment I am unaware of any providers that charge for receiving these calls but I can not verify this as I have only called numbers within the USA.
