Re: OT International phone cards

....you can also use Skype to call 'regular'(land line) or cell phones at a
fraction of the cost of regular long distance calls. My dd was living in
England for 2 years until recently, and that was how we kept in touch from
Canada...it worked out to about a penny/minute.

Sounds cool. But that won't work for DS and his girlfriend in the Peace
Corps. She has a cell phone that works from almost anywhere in the
country (believe it or not!), but she has to use internet cafes when she's
in a city. They need phone to phone access.

Same here -- we use it to talk with relatives in New Zealand (from
U.S.). The price is right!
