International Calling

[jai6638]

We just moved to US and need help with minimizing cost of international calls, esp India and U.A.E. Can anyone suggest a specific calling plan or company?

Thanks!

check the calling cards at Sam's Club or Costco, i think they include international

Calling cards are your best option. The other choices don't come anywhere near in terms of pricing.

I've used pincity.com to call China and it was pretty cheap.

it's like a calling card, but you can program it to recognize your phone number you are calling from, so you don't have to punch in access codes, etc. You can also program speed dials to make a call really quick.

http://www.packet8.net has the lowest rates, but their site is down right now.

I used packet8 in the past and found their service to be spotty.

Or if there is one or two particular people you call, get them a Vonage. Then you can call them for free on a unlimited local calling plan

If whoever you talk to has a pc, i suggest MSN or im voice chat. I use audio/video to talk to parents and it is free. Prb saved me and them a couple hundered $ each year.

hey.... ye thas what i do to talk to my father... but for relatives in bombay who dont use computers, i land up calling them which becomes expensive as i pay 85 cents/ min to bombay. its a rip off

Anyways, Thanks for the help.. i shall most probably go for Vonage or One suite
