I'm confused If the calls are "free", why do you need to start with ten dollars? Could someone set me straight? Thanks!

Let's hope GregYohn shows up to answer these questions. I asked the same in another thread, and he gave some good answers. I don't believe it's a scam, but it's also not everything it appears to be on the surface. If it's too good to be true...

In the meantime, there's very little risk if you use a credit card. Amex/V/MC will all "charge back" (aka refund) your money if you're defrauded, or the company goes out of business.

Correction not *FREE* - It's ~ 10 cents per day. It's actually 10 Euros which is about 10 dollars. Which will remain on your account for 120 days. You can use that balance to call cell phones or other countries that are not free. If you don't want to pay the 10 Euros you can still use the software for free and make calls to any of the Free countries but your calls will be dropped after 1 minute and you will need to call back. This gets a little frustrating after a few minutes. I've already gotten 10 Euros worth of calls in 2 days. If you haven't tried the service I don't see the point in saying anything negative about it. So the company makes 10 Euros from someone who possibly calls Colombia 10 hours a day for 120 days. Sounds like a bargain to me unless you work for ATT.

Hello! I use VOIPStunt.com, since its price is worth the price.

You can call USA, Canada, and Hong Kong cell phones for free also! I have called WELL BEYOND the basic free use level. I checked and found out that calling my GF's cell phone and also her landline gave me 25+ hours to talk with her and I had just spent about $8.40. Sometimes, the call get's dropped, but its free, unless you use the $.084 price per minute cell phone price.

Let's say you go beyond reasonable use. I DID! Big deal! They charged me $.006 a minute for the rest of the day and then next day I was back to my free calling. One hour with VoipStunt is cheaper than using 1 minute with my Verizon Cell phone.

You need a fast internt connection, if you don't have one then use Yahoo Messenger and pay $.02 a minute to call the USA! I have called other computers with VOIPStunt and Yahoo. Well, computer to computer VOIPStunt is clearer.

I learned of the program from Casa Viena in Cartagena in January. Call alot and easily its worth giving them 10 Euros for your account. They used to charge $.06 a minute to call Colombia landlines, but that was in January!

SCAM INDEED I tried voipstunt, quality very good, however there is not such a thing as FREE CALLS. After loading my account with 10 euros and using it for 3 days, It says I've reached the maximum number of free calls. I'm now only allowed to make toll calls like cellphones in Colombia. Be aware

How many hours a day were you calling for? I've used it for the past 7 days. Calling to various cities in Colombia and using about 2 - 6 hours per day. The software will automatically cut off the call at the 1 hour mark. The message will say "reached the maximum number of free calls". I've just re-dialed and continued on for another hour....etc... I did have a problem last Saturday calling to Barranquilla. I could hear them but they were having problems hearing me. I just called the next day and the problem has cleared. I still have 10 Euros for a balance and I've called 30 + hours to Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Japan, Germany & UK. I still have 113 days left to call unlimited to 50 + countries. It doesn't seem like a scam to me.

VOIPSTUNT 5 hours, however it is not about the amount of time, it is about the amount of calls, according to their small print terms.

I'm only able to call to the "Non free" destinations. What do you think about it?
