Net2Phone.com
can make phone-to-phone
calls overseas for just
pennies a minute. This
is the way it works:
When you make the call
through a special access
number, the conversation
is converted to "voice
over IP" (essentially
an Internet transmission)
until it reaches a computer
near a phone exchange
in the country you are
calling. From there
it converts back to
a standard analog phone
call for the person
on the other side. By
circumventing the other
country's international
phone exchange (think
of it as a way of "slipping
under the fence"),
Net2Phone.com is able
to save you a bundle
every calling minute.
The sound quality is
actually quite good,
though there is a bit
of a delay as you might
expect, similar to a
call being transmitted
via satellite.
Net2Phone
has two basic calling
card plans, and the
one you choose will
depend upon your needs
and "style".
For example, a call
to Australia from the
US using the standard
Net2Phone Direct Calling
Card will cost about
7.9 cents / minute with
no connect charge. However,
they have another plan
called "PennyTalk"
(which can only be found
at getpennytalk.com)
where that same call
costs only 4 cents /
minute but with a $.49
charge per connection.
Since my staff and I
tend to be a bit long
winded and typically
spend more than 10 minutes
on a call, this is the
plan we use.
