		<description>While this is great news, it definitely isn't the first service of its kind.  I have been using dialwise.ie for a good while which also uses the 1890 numbers to call internationally.  

Either way, it is great to see an end to the rip-off that the other companies charge for international calls.  If you actually do a price-per-minute comparison you will see that other operators can charge up to 20 times as much for the same call to some European countries.

Thanks to Pat for further increasing the competition in the marketplace. :)</description>

		<description>err. I think the computer gobbled up my previous comment but the statement of local &#38; national &lt;blockquote&gt;non-geographic&lt;/blockquote&gt; numbers as being included in 'free call' packages is incorrect. They aren't, the customer will still end up paying the local/national rate to the corresponding number they ring. However, they will get free calls to &lt;blockquote&gt;geographic&lt;/blockquote&gt; numbers within Ireland. So really, these calls aren't 'allfree', you'll still stump up for the price of the PSTN call regardless of unlimited call package or not. and then the attraction of zero cost SIP rerouting from there on in is what lures folk in.</description>

		<description>from the allfreecalls site:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you have an Imagine, Eircom, Perlico or one of the many other Irish providers' bundles?

Are your local or national calls included in your bundle?

If so, you can call all the countries below totally FREE.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


This is incorrect. Check the terms &#38; conditions of &lt;a href="http://www.imagine.ie/dialup/terms_res_voice.php"&gt;Imagine&lt;/a&gt; &#38; &lt;a href="http://www.perlico.com/htm/nonsectional/freetalk.htm"&gt;Perlico&lt;/a&gt; (eircom sux with sessions) and you will clearly see in their 'Free Calls' section that free calls apply to local and national numbers. They don't apply to &lt;em&gt;non-geographical&lt;/em&gt; numbers so you'll still end up paying either the local or national rate.</description>
