$US0.021/min, not $1.49/min
get Skype installed at overseas location and it's FREE, even from your
cellphone!
No Vaseline or KY-jelly necessary...save more money.

Call 'em from your cellphone on Skype:
http://www.voxlib.com/ and Skype In number (which is really cheap)
You call your Skype In number, Voxlib on your desktop answers, recognizes
your caller ID and talks to you. Dial European number through Voxlib and
pay airtime you'd pay anyways plus 3.9c connect + 2.1c/min to Skype Out
precharged account. Over 7 hours for $10...not 10 minutes. Load your
Skype In number into the phone's contact list and only dial the Euro
number manually on touchtones after Vox answers at home. It's like
owning your own telephone long distance company!...(c; If the European
you're calling has Skype on his computer, call him skype-to-skype for
free from your Skype contact list Vox reads to you. You enter the first
3 letters of his Skype Name on your cellphone pad. If HE has Skype set
to forward his calls to his cell...you both can talk from US to Europe
for just cellular airtime on both ends....Skype to Skype is FREE, with
color video from your computer to his if you wait until everyone is home.

Get a separate European phone number on Skype In so they can call you!
Skype lets you buy up to 10 Skype In phone numbers anywhere they provide
Skype In service. I have numbers in Charleston, SC and London, UK.
Local call in for them...Skype In call for you ($US38/YEAR, not
month/number!) If someone in London calls my London number, Skype In
forwards the call to my cellphone if I'm not on Skype....much cheaper for
everyone. Here's the country list for Skype In:

"You can get up to 10 SkypeIn numbers in total from United States, United
Kingdom, Brazil, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong,
Poland, Sweden and Switzerland."

Hmm...I've never had an Estonian phone number....(c;

Don't believe the bullshit that Skype sounds awful. It's codec is
BROADBAND, much wider and faster than your cellphone codec. Skype is
hifi compared to cellular's 8K or 11Kbps. Music on hold sound fine on
Skype. Skype REQUIRES a broadband connection...no dialups. That's why.

Screw that paying VZW to call Europe...(shudder)...Yecch!
