Things that make you go Ahhhhh! :)
This one worked for me straight away! Well after I had removed the +sign & the international & area code off the number they gave me, just makes it easier for local callers :) .My elderly parents & others can now call without struggling with or booting up a computer.
Ring2Skype - Free SkypeIn Service- Have your number around the world for free (http://www.ring2skype.com/Main.php?do=free-skype)
Pros: worked like it says! so cool happy happy joy joy :)
Cons: haven't really found any yet, except maybe that number format, no big deal.
Of course my fear is you promote these sites and they get too big too fast & get bought out by the big guys! but of course they cant survive without promotion either, so its a bit catch 22, anyway enjoy while you can & spread the love of freebies.
Post what works for you, any comments welcome, post the pros & cons of the site you share. Please NOSPAM but of course I guess it will be a spam magnet, its up to you users to keep the Admin busy & report any spam.
Come back & edit your post if you find a site no longer works or you discover more Pros/Cons.
Thanks & enjoy
Edit1 14,7,2010: Still working most of the time, sometimes callers cannot connect?? Don't know why & there is nothing you can do about it. I still give it 9 out of 10 & probably a paid for service still wouldn't be any better. Not for emergency calls ;) In my top five freebies ;)
