Free mobile calling? Just suffer through the ads!

hey that's pretty interesting. too bad they'll (most likely) start coverage in germany after i'm gone (late summer of next year). iirc, there used to be a company in the US in the late '90s that had such a model for long distance calling (i used it in college sometimes). you called a toll-free number and listened to a 20-second ad. for each ad you listened to, i think you got 2 or 3 minutes of long distance time. needless to say, it didn't last that long. i remember just putting the phone down on the table and pressing # every 20 seconds or so while i did something else. when i "earned" enough for as long as i wanted to call, i picked the phone back up and went on :)
