- tomduncalf 7y agoAhh yes, in the UK there was one called X-stream (and another called ic24) for a while which did exactly the same thing with an ad banner in exchange for a toll-free number. I think it was only free at weekends, and you’d have to retry hundreds of times to get through once word got out, only to end up with a crappy connection so slow you could barely use it. Still, it was free! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Stream_Network https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Stream_Network
