To clarify, using Jitsi as normal (for *video* conferencing) is free, worldwide.
(e.g. One of my user group members participates in our mostly-U.S.A meetings
from his new home in the Czech Republic)
Also, like Zoom and many other video conferencing services, Jitsi allows you to
call a phone number, to listen and speak (audio-only) on in the video meeting
room:
+1.512.647.1431 US
+44.203.885.2179 UK
+33.1.87.21.0005 France
+31.85.208.1541 Netherlands
+34.932.205.409 Spain
+1.437.538.3987 Canada
+61.8.7150.1136 Australia
+55.21.3500.0112 Brazil
+81.3.4510.2372 Japan
+41.61.588.0496 Switzerland
These numbers are also free, but only if your phone company considers them free.
In other words, you might get charged, but it is the phone company's charge,
not Jitsi's.
