Today I tried to figure out how to create a good connection with some of my friends from USA. To call them from my cell phone would cost me at leat 40-50c/Minute and I’m not the person who is in a hurry at the phone. 
I tried over the time more overseas calling options. Some of them were fine, some of them not.
I think that I tried first Skype. With Skype everything is fine but:
- you have to have a good Internet connection, otherwise you’ll hear some “earth to moon” voices.
- if you install Skype on your PDA, their rates are enormous
- even if Skype is fine, it’s quite inaccessible
I have also tried Yahoo messenger. This option works fine if you call your neighbor. On their Vista ready messenger version the function isn’t even included.
Now I will head my attention to international phone cards. Prepaid phone cards sales are skyrocketing. Using prepaid phone cards wisely can help you control your phone bills. Prepaid phone cards are also very convenient. For consumers who do not want to switch their long distance carriers, stand-alone prepaid phone cards are the answer. You receive mobility (calling from any phone including cellular), independence from local carrier and anonymity. Prepaid phone cards are also extremely popular with college students, truck drivers, travelers, and international visitors.
You simply pay for the calling time in advance and reduce the prepaid balance as you make calls. To make a call you dial Toll Free Access Number, enter your PIN number and dial the phone number you wish to call.
