I dug a little bit and it appears that its free while its in beta.  They
appear to use sip, and they even have sip.icall.com however the proxy
rejects auth on the web username/pw, will keep playing.  

They have provisions on their site to buy services, they are planning on
having more based on what I saw, but they are new, and instead of paying
QA people they are releasing it to the world (potentially) in exchange
for a little bit of demographic information (likely sold off but I dont
know either way - but why collect it if you dont use it?).  

Ultimately I think they will shut this off soon, although many have
reported problems with the windows client (of which I have yet to
download) which makes me think that they may stay in testing for a
while.
