To anyone else who's trying: you can use Google Voice to make free international calls. Something I sadly only found out after spending some $$$ while building this thing.

You can make free calls to the US and Canada using Gmail. I think that's different than saying Google Voice gives you free international calls.

Google Voice on its own is just a forwarding service, and is only available for user in the US.

(Not being pedantic, just clarifying in case someone gets confused.)

Felideon, I stand corrected: Gmail does NOT do free international calls, but for all practical purposes Gmail + PitchPower is still free.

Is the sound quality of a google voice connection comparable to an MP3? (I haven't used it GV)
