You can call home for free with your cell phone.
Just dial 1544 0044. You will hear some pre-recorded Korean giving instructions.
As soon as you hear that voice just dial your country code, area code and number followed by the # sign.
BAM! You are connected. This service appears to be 100% free, except for your normal phone charges. I have used this service for eight months with no surprise charges on my bill.
Hope this helps someone!

Hi Simar,
Here is exactly how I do it. I have used it more than a hundred times and have only got a busy signal once or twice.
1. I dial 1544 0044 and call.
2. I hear some Korean message. (you don't have to wait until it ends)
3. I dial country code, area code, number and press the # key (1 814 833 1234 #)
4. I am connected.
I have only used this service when calling to USA and Canada. I don't know if any other countries are supported. Hope it works for you :)
Tried it on my PPS and it didn't work....
I tried it on my PPS phone and it chewed through the w10,000 I had on the phone in about 5 minutes.
Not sure how this is supposed to work but it didn't work for me.
