I received the call while on my mobile phone roaming in Canada. The sound quality was more than acceptable in that circumstance. There were some cutouts, but it was not clear if they were caused by WiFi, VoipBuster, or my mobile phone network.
What can I say, it works. No Caller ID, which is kind of a showstopper for me, but hey, what do you expect for free? If you've tried this combination, leave your thoughts in the comments.

These are excellent points. The company behind VoipBuster and others has done some pretty squirrelly things with regards to Terms of Service, particularly on their "free" service.
Personally, I stick with services like Skype or Gizmo Project where the per-minute charges are obvious.

When I do that math, it sounds more like I'm paying $60 per year for a limited amount of "free" calls.
Wikipedia says "company continuously increases its prices in some hidden ways. It changes terms constantly without notice" and "Latest feature seems that the 10 euros you pay to get 'free nations' can no longer be used as credit, you lose the money after 90 days. Any non-free destinations need a separate 10 euro credit."
In short, caveat emptor.
