So how this is possible? The application use well known and time tested concept of dial-around calls with several improvements.

In this concept you register your phone with dial around provider and agree to payment terms. This part is clear somebody provide you a service and you introduce yourself to each other.

To place a call you dial local number where computer tell you to dial the number of your party in other country. after you dial they place a call using their own network. and as result you get billed… Most wonderful that you usually pay several times less than direct call especially in such an environments where you not have choice of long distance provider. Good example of it would be iPhone with AT&T. Generally AT&T rates are extremely high even on their “AT&T calling cards” but much higher from cellular phones.

My friend recently placed a short call to her old friend in Canada with being absolutely sure that she is calling to Oregon but actually she called Canada and she was billed $30 for it! After several years of using phone cards for placing international calls it is hard to believe that such rates are still exists.

Anyway you just figured that it is not just free application but payed service. But i can offer you a chance to try it for free. Or actually for a cost of a text message.
