How to: Unlimited Free Cell Phone Minutes Hack
None of us enjoy paying the absurd prices we have to pay for monthly cell phone service. Finally, there is a solution! Most networks have a feature allowing you to call a certain number of contacts, on any network for free, anytime. We’ll exploit this feature allowing you unlimited free cell minutes!
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
- Sign up for Google Voice – Google Voice allows you to consolidate multiple phone numbers, but it also allows you to make free calls!

- Once you’ve signed up, adjust your settings as shown in the picture above. This displays your Google Voice number on all calls, enabling free calls.
- Depending on your carrier, this still will vary:
Verizon: Currently they offer a friends and family plan allowing you to pick 5 to 10 numbers you can call for free.
AT&T: A new feature for AT&T, the “A-list” is just like Verizon’s offer, allowing you to call 5 to 10 numbers for free.
T-Mobile: myFaves is T-Mobile’s version, allowing you to call 5 numbers for free.
Sprint: Sprint created a similar service called Pick 3 which may only be available to some customers. - That’s it! Just add your Google Voice number to your carrier’s free calling plans to access unlimited free calling!
Definitely an incredibly useful hack with potential to save you a ton of money. For more cell phone hacks, check out our favorites below:

if you look thru the GV Help forums at threads related to AT&T’s A-List, people say this hack doesn’t work. AT&T can apparently detect the forwarded call and you will get charged, even if you follow the instructions above

Well, that still leaves plenty of other networks open to exploitation.

Tell me if I have this right:
Someone calls your existing number, GV intercepts and sends the call to your phone. Except that your phone only sees the GV number, therefore the phone company doesn’t charge.
For this to work you don’t need to start giving out a new number, right?

how is this free calling? I still have to pay one of these companies for the cell phone plan.

Yeah, you pay the base price, but all the calls are free.

This works for receiving calls. How do you make free calls?

You can dial your Google voice number, then type in the number you’d like to dial and Google voice connects you for free.

Yes it does work if you have TMobile Fave Five. I programmed one of my faves to my google number. All of my calls come from the google number, but when you answer it you have the ability to screen the call because the caller has to say their name or the caller id will say the name for you. My plan is only 300 minutes a month and I’ve went over them in the past. With Google Voice I haven’t used any of my anytime minutes, therefore no worry of getting overages!
