People who tend to call overseas a lot usually rack up huge long distance bills.  Some resort to using pesky pre-paid calling cards which are inconvenient, it’s hard to know how much time you have left on the card, and more importantly unreliable in terms of call quality.

A solution that not many people use or think about for heavy international calling is getting a VOIP (voice over IP) Internet Phone Line.

Basically, you’ll get a little box that will plug into 3 places:

  1. the wall outlet for electricity
  2. any regular telephone – it can even be cordless, and
  3. into your cable modem or router.

After that, you use the phone attached like any other regular phone — the only difference is that you’ll be saving tons of moola with each call and you get a bunch of premium features that you’d normally have to pay Verizon or BellSouth for like Caller ID with Name, Call Forwarding, Ring Blast (simultaneously can ring your home phone, cell phone, etc and the 1st phone line that picks it up gets the call!), voicemail, email notifications of voicmails, etc.

SunRocket, like all the other VOIP companies push their “UNLIMITED CALLING” plans which can be cheap – like $199/year for unlimited calling within USA + Canada.  But you should really look into their other “regular” plans — which can also get you prices as low as $9.95/month with 200 USA/CANADA minutes + up to a little less than 2 HOURS OF INTERNATIONAL CALLS FREE EVERY MONTH INCLUDED (100 min/month).  There are other broadband phone plans like Verizon VoiceWing or Vonage — who’s international rates are low, but not rockbottom for international calling generally — UNLESS you are making calls to some of the North American or European countries that are now included in the Unlimited Plans like Canada, Puerto Rico, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain and the UK.

 

But basically, you’ll pay incredible international calling rates — For example, only 3 cents/minute to Greece with SunRocket.

In fact, there are OVER 40 COUNTRIES THAT COST ONLY 3 CENTS/MINUTE ANYTIME:

Argentina – $0.03/min

Australia – $0.03/min
Austria – $0.03/min
Belgium – $0.03/min

And here’s the ESSISTME TIP OF THE DAY:  If you talk more than 1 hours/day on international calls (5 hours/month), you should look into the Sunrocket SunSpot’s Edition Plan which gives you UNLIMITED DOMESTIC + INTERNATIONAL CALLING ANYTIME ALL YEAR.

I guess this really means “talk is cheap”!
