Hey,
I know that quite a few folks at OTF call each other internationally and so I thought that you might like to know about a web site that offers very cheap rates on international phone calls.
The site is http://www.comxo.com/easyvoice.cfm and I would suggest that you at least take a look and see if it would benefit you or not.

Just FYI...
To use this service you either must have a credit card yourself or you should have someone with a credit card to pay for you.
No credit card? Then there's really no need to bother checking out the site, even if they have very cheap rates.

This is a great thread idea Hong...as many of us (namely me) don't have a plan on our phones to call internationally and rely heavily on phone cards...I wish I could speak for other countries but I cannot, however I can tell the folks in the US, check out the Verizon "Speak Out" Cards, I know all 7-11's sell them, and I'm sure you can call Verizon and find out where they are sold in your area. They come in increments of $5, $10, and $20. They rock, I use them all the time, and 99% of the time I have a crystal clear sound and can talk for hours, with no threat of a phone bill 
Good Luck!
(Note here, the $5 cards aren't worth it unless your desperate to talk, as I can only get about 60 minutes to the UK on one of those)

For people in UK and want to call the rest of the world, try JUST DIAL.
The call only cost the price of a national call Daytime(8am-6pm) 5p/ Evening(6pm-8am) 5.5p and Weekend 6p
Prices are from the BT webpage and are only for 1 minute. Any longer please consult page.
P.S. If you have BT option 3, i think national calls are free upto an hour (but don't quote me)
P.P.S. Reason i've only put BT down as it's what i use. and i can't be bothered putting up info from all the other service providers

Hey,
Since we're on the topic, I just thought I'd throw in Skype. Skype is internet telephony software that's making big headlines since it was recently incorporated into the latest version of Kazaa. It's available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The software is free, so as long as you have a decent connection and a microphone, it costs nothing to make long-distance calls.
To be honest, though, I haven't tried it myself yet. But Nobbe can apparently vouch for its validity, so ask him.
