The past few years have seen a continual decline in long distance dialing prices. How low can they go? Would you believe, free?

Dialpad is now offering free long distance calling over the net. All you need is a sound card, microphone and speakers. The reception is slightly delayed, but what the heck. Best of all, if you have a dialup connection, you don't have to disconnect from the Internet when you want to make a phone call. They are planning to offer free international calling in the near future.
