I normally use skype or hangout/gvoice to make calls online, but definitely never found them that easy to use, and skype has dropped my calls before which is annoying.

This project came out of the combination of my work on web telephony from the last several years and the troubles that I've had communicating with the family members that I have overseas.
Skype is amazing. But it can't beat a phone call. And if you're trying to deal with a company, a bank, or (god forbid) trying to sort out Visa issues you need to be able to make a call from anywhere.
I realized that its the 21st century and it doesn't make any sense for international calling to be so difficult or expensive. Calling should be free and available to anyone in the world and I wanted to make that happen.
I believe that through sponsors and a Tom's Shoes-style model where those that can pay for extra features subsidize the costs for those that really need the free service, we can make this work. And not only can this be a viable business model but also something that brings a huge amount of social good to the world.
International communication should be easy. And we want get there, even if its one country at a time.
I appreciate any and all feedback!
