This just goes to show how different people can be. I'd rather pay for occasional long distance phone calls than give out my credit card number to a "free service". I hate the very idea of it. I just don't trust 'em. I feel almost as strongly about this as some people feel about spam. If I was traveling a great deal I would get a cell phone plan that has long distance included with no roaming charges and a cell phone like that Nokia you told us about that you can use as a modem. Of course the cell phone company is going to want my credit card number too. (grumble and moan bitterly to the gods of commerce) The world's gone wrong but at least I can try to be selective about who gets my credit info.
