Must it be legal? There is always your neighbors' phone lines...

Or you could try here.

Thanks reader 50
I read about Dialpad.com,but they only serve PC to Phone (no Macs)
Those any one of the ones you mention work like Dialpad?
I don't want to talk over the internet.

Sorry, 'fraid you are on your own. I bookmarked that link in case I ever got interested in Mac internet telephony. I have not tried any of the software there.

i-Link is the only thing that i know that does what you want, and it isn't "talking over the internet" either. Basically how it wroks is you put in your phone number, and the number you want to call. It then calls you, and connects your call. The only bad thing about this is that you have to click something every 3 minutes or something. It's all over the web- no software to install, and it really does work... it worked great on the callback payphone at school

Note- I haven't used it in a while so I don't know if there are time restrictions or anything like that, just thought i'd give you an alternative...
