Is there a free VoIP service without paying? Excluding the ones where you only get a 1 minute call?

Well see i just bought an ipod for my girl friend and her phone service isnt very good, and i knew about voip. Anyway what im trying to do is to make calls from her itouch to a mobile device.
Oh, from an iPod Touch to a mobile device. If it was iPod touch to an iPod touch, my first suggestion is feasible. With regards to other mobile devices, it requires $$$ to use them, AFAIK no free yet.
Yeah I knew you could do itouch to itouch. I just forgot to say to mobile. There has to be a free service got to find one b4 valentines day =/
Thanks for your reply
Thanks for your reply
Look at it from the perspective of the service provider. They have to purchase a bank of telephone lines in order to bridge your VoIP call from their server to the voice telephone system, through which it would travel the rest of the way to the receiving telephone device. Those telephone lines, and the calls that pass through them, cost the service provider money.
On the other hand, for pure VoIP calls (where no part of the call needs to pass through the voice telephone system) the service provider's costs are virtually nonexistent, because the calls never need to pass through their servers at all, but rather can travel through the Internet peer-to-peer.
If there is also a version of Skype available for whatever mobile device your girlfriend would most commonly call, then such calls would be free for her.
You could spend $3 per month for unlimited calling in North America (not sure where you are). This is probably as close to free as you'll find. Of course that would only let her call out and for $60 per year, I believe, you can get your own number. Still much cheaper than a comparable cell phone contract, but you need the wifi.
It's called an iPod Touch not an itouch. An iPod Touch is a touch screen music device made by Apple INC. in Cupertino, CA. An itouch has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
