Talkety -- Cheap Phone Calls
I just read about a new VoIP service called Talkety. You type in your phone number. You type in the number you want to call. You hit the 'Connect' button. Your phone rings. You answer it. Talkety automatically calls the other number and it's just like any other phone call. Except a lot cheaper.
I can call all my friends and family in the US for 3 cents per minute. My long distance carrier charges 21 cents per minute. I never use my long distance carrier to make international phone calls. My ISP offers a 'virtual phone card' that lets me make the cheapest calls I've found available anywhere. 2 cents per minute to the US. That's even better than Talkety, but it's nice to have a back-up.
I don't know how this works out for regular long-distance calls. With so many different deals from so many long distance companies, free minutes with your mobile phone network, etc. it might not be worth it. But if you make international calls (or might start if you could do it cheaply), it might be worth looking into.
