Hey, I lost my Iphone over the weekend (*SOB*) and all of my numbers. Does anyone have one of those numbers that I can use to call the US for free? If I've lost that, that would be awful. Use it all the time. Thanks for your help!

If you have a Gmail account that was opened in the US, you can make free phone calls to anywhere in the US from Gmail chat.

I think it's only for cell phones. You get charged just like a regular call.

See also 02-1688-5959. She speaks for about 4.5 seconds, then when she's done you dial 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Only cost is your own's cell phone minutes.

Actually, rowdie, my boyfriend has an iphone4 that he wants to sell... it is Olleh, though (you can't sell it to someone on SKT, we tried haha).

And my bf lives in Itaewon, too.

Did you have iCloud? If so, log in at icloud.com and you will get all your contacts back there.

Yes, free LD to North America with these numbers.

PM sent about the Iphone that is for sale.

All numbers are in ICloud! How do I get them to go into the next phone that I buy? Would they go automatically?

I use 1688-4949.

Same as above, a voice recording, then just dial your number (1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) and the # key at the end.

I know it works for several countries, but only if you're calling land-lines (can't call cells).

If your next phone is an iPhone they will automatically go. If it is not an iPhone, you'll have to do it manually.
