Install 'Skype' on your computer. My lifestyle requires frequent international calls, and I used to spend a small fortune on them. Not any longer. Usually Skype calls are as crisp and clear as any telephone (actually more so as the computer speakers are better!) and I pay just a few pennies per minute to any phone anywhere in the world. I can make a 30-minute call almost anywhere for under a dollar! I don't even need to dread being put on hold for 10 minutes! Skype calls computer-to-computer are absolutely free, so I can call my friends internationally at no cost what so ever. We even have those as video calls! It's like sitting and chatting in the same room.
Skype depends upon available bandwidth so if you have a slow computer connection, Skype isn't for you. But if you are using a good broadband provider, Skype is the answer to all international calling. I even use it's 'sister' program, called 'PamFax' to send my faxes.
Try it. Both programs are free to install. Give Skype a $10 credit and you are ready to call the World!
