Free Wrold Dialup and ekiga.net will give you accounts without you needing to 
pay. As long as you call another such user, calls are free. Just don't call 
land lines, or cell phones, etc.

What is ekiga?

Ekiga (formely known as GnomeMeeting)

or, you can set up an asterisk box, use the console yourself and give your 
friend an account on your box.
