Phone to Phone

Hello,

First of all, thank you very for this excellent service, FPL is the best way to call canada without any problem.
I would like to know if there is chance to have in the next versions the "phone-to-phone" option.
This is a really great feature !
Here is an illustrative image with voipbuster.

Although it's a great idea, I think this type of feature is a little outside of what we're doing right now. Due to the nature of our service and being already free, it would be redundant for us to offer another phone-to-phone service like VOIP Buster. Right now we only provide free calling to the select 20 cities unless you have a long distance plan with us. Calls like VOIP buster make also cost money to make and they probably make most of their money through advertising.
Our next plans are to expand the free service with pay as you go long distance rates to 50+ countries around the world. We're trying to bring you these rates lower than any other companies offer.
Also, there is a small profit made by us when you call directly from a FPL number to a landline/cellphone. So if we were to "direct connect" two random numbers it would then cost us money with nothing being earned back. I'm not sure how to clarify this more without asking someone who handles this end of the business.
