International Calls
Since most of my family and friends live in France, I call there on a regular basis. While in France this summer, I found out about really cheap calling cards and blogged about it here and since I came back to San Francisco, I've been looking for cheap ways to call abroad.
I had heard good things about Skype and decided to give it a try.
Skype is downloadable and is very similar to any messenger type in the sense that you can have free live conversations with anyone who's online at the same time you are. I've tried that in the US and it seemed to work well so I decided to pay 10 euros to try calling landlines. So far, it's worked great. The thing I like the most about it is that it costs the same thing to call anywhere in the world. The sound quality is good too although I think sometimes it deforms voices a little.
I know there are tons of companies who offer good rates and I'd love to hear about ones you've tried and liked.
Send me an e-mail or post here.
