Show HN: Free Web Dialer for U.S./Canada Toll-Free Numbers (Skype Replacement?)

https://tollfree.connect-ez.com
1•Connect-EZ•2h ago
We built tollfree.connect-ez.com because Skype discontinued its free toll-free calling service. For years, people relied on it to reach U.S. and Canadian 1-800 numbers from abroad—banks, airlines, government offices, and customer support desks. When Skype pulled the plug, it left a gap.

We try and work with disruptive, SIM-less telephony at Connect-EZ. Instead of relying on phone numbers and SIM cards, we make calls work over data connections — web, mobile apps, or Wi-Fi—using email or browser-based IDs. The toll-free dialer is a simple example: open the site, type in the toll-free number (like 1800XXXXXXX), and click Call Now. The call connects instantly in your browser—no app download, no account signup, no hidden fees.

Happy to answer questions and would love feedback from the HN community.
