Get a Google number and call anyone (business or residential) for free. Type in the number you want to call on Google voice page and type in your number; Google voice will connect you for free.

There is some work involved and it does take a while to get your business on there.

And yes, you can use this for free residental calls. Just list yourself as a business on Google and people can then call you.

Go to http://labs.google.com/goog411/ for more information.

This won’t help you at your work, but could be useful for cellphone use.

But it’s nice though that you mentioned it here.

I am not sure whether my ‘day-time’ minutes will be used if I use my cell phone during a workday. Did you try using your cell phone to make those call during workdays?
Thanks!

Great tip, thanks!
