NSR - International calling on the cheap !

I just came accross a couple sites I was not aware of. Similar to Skype, but it appears to be better as you can just use your cell phone and not be tied down to your computer.

www.rebtel.com
www.jaxtr.com

For those of us that make lots of international calls, this could provide a nice savings to the scootering gas/accesories pot

Then again, I am middle age, so I might be waaaay behind on keeping up with these things.

Salud !

I have an actual Skype phone - its called an iPhone actually. But if you have a smart phone and internet you can put the application on your cell phone

That's cool. Skype is 5 bucks a month and its unlimited north america calling - but really cheap int'l (like $.012 a min...that's where the 5 dollars comes in) Magic jack seems like a better deal

Magic jack is a service for 20 dollars a year you get unlimited everything, no hidden fees, just make sure you have high speed internet.

You have your PC on, hook in a magic jack USB device, and connect any home phone that uses a phone cord into it. And from there, run the magic jack program, and start making calls! Just pick up your phone, and dial.
