I've been using voicepulse.  They have a special part of their  
website that is only for asterisk users.  You don't have to have a  
number with them to make outgoing calls.  You can set your callerid  
to anything you want.

It's a pay-what-you-use service that is really cheap.  Most of the  
calls I make to urban areas cost between half a penny and a penny per  
minute.  To illustrate, an hour-long call to my sister in El Paso was  
$0.006 per minute and cost me 36 cents.

You'll need an IP phone or softphone that can talk to the asterisk  
server.
