Voice over IP so you can't hear my UrIN

I just got my new phone number from Lingo - a VoIP phone service. My new phone number is: (816) 256-4876. If you look it up, it's a Kansas City, MO phone number. I had to pick a major city, and I happen to have a friend moving there soon - so I'll be local! Call me at that number any time of day (I may be at work during the day - duh), and I don't have to worry about nights and weekends because it's all unlimited!! I still have my cell phone, so don't worry - that number works too. I can do 3-way calls, caller ID, call forwarding, and some nifty thing called Simultaneous Ring. With that, if I set it up, any time you call my Lingo phone number my home phone AND my cell phone would ring. I can answer either phone and get the call. Yay! It's technology so you know I love it.
I tried it out with my mom first - cause she was home. I had some static problems. Well, she did. She kept having times where she heard static and an old woman talking - part of the time the old woman was talking about having had some eggs and toast. No other calls have had any trouble so I'm happy so far.
If you live in any of these countries, I can call you at no extra charge to me above the $20/mo. fee for the service:
U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Luxembourg, Vatican City, Norway, Portugal, and Spain!
I'm excited. This is cool. I might as well call you - cause it won't cost me anything. Even if I call you in the morning and you live in France and I forget to hang up....for 12 hours...it's FREE!!
Ok, so I don't know anyone in France....yet.
I'm gonna go to France just so you can call me for free. I might visit the Eiffel Tower while I'm there...maybe. I mean, there's just no comparison.
