I found this article that tells you how to get an account that gives you free calls to the US with your Asterisk server. And it works great! I called my old friend Martin and talked to him without any problems. And I realized that this is the first time I called him since he moved to the US. And that’s like 18 years ago. That’s embarrassing. I hope he forgives me. Anyway, it was nice to talk to him.

The service, called GoIAX.com is still in beta, and I wonder how long this will continue to work, but I put two other services as fallback if this stops working. One thing about the Nerd Vitties article, they have the codec setting to GSM, but if you have the bandwidth you can use ulaw instead with better sound quality.
