Discount Calling Rate

Beth L. asked:


I’m going to France for a few months starting next week. I really REALLY want to have a cell phone while I’m there, but the companies that I looked into for international rates (Alltel, Verizon) are VERY expensive. Is there a US company out there with a decent priced international plan (where i don’t have to pay for an expensive chip to go in my phone or outragious roaming fees)? Would it be better for me to get a Trac Phone when I get there? If so, can I text on a Trac Phone?

Thank you!

I have this service for international calls and the prices are great. But I can not find out from the people that work there if it’s cheaper to call a landline or mobile with this service. I only have a mobile to call from and I like to run my mouth ;p
Would love it if someone knew for sure what’s best. I’m in the US and most of my calls are to Brazil.
Thanks!

My girlfriend lives in the UK and has a mobile through the Orange company. She called me the other day (I live in the US), which neither of us thought was possible. I googled for this information, but can’t find it.

Can anyone link me to a site or tell me what the international call rates are? How much would it/did it cost her to call the US? (She didn’t check her credits afterwards)
Sorry, but not Skype. I need rates for what it would cost to call a United States landline from an Orange UK mobile.

Hi,

I have two lines at home. One is my regular line and the other is a Voip line. Now, since I’m able to make international calls using the Voip line for a fixed monthly rate, I would love to take advantage from it even when I’m not home.

I was thinking about having a device that will connect to both my regular (POTS) line and my Voip line. I would call in to my regular line from wherever I wish, and upon entering an agreed upon password get a dial tone on my Voip, giving me the ability to call international using my Voip monthly fixed rate.

Please note: I believe that I can use a Voip adapter so that the Voip line can be treated like a regular phone as well.

I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for, although I know that there is the option of running a dedicated computer with Asterisk, for example, as a PBX. Well, first, I’m tottaly not familiar with Asterisk and PBXs in general. Second, I would like this device to be much smaller that a PC.

I would deeply appreciate any help.
