Long distance international calls
I have been hunting around for a nice service plan for calling home. To be specific I want to make calls to Oman and India. And the per minute prices seem to be on sky high for atleast Oman.
Do you make international phone calls often? know of a good plan or provider?
I have heard comwave is good..any better ones out there?

You could use Skype or Google Voice (or the many other online services).

Xpresscall: https://www.xpresscall.com/rates.asp

India is around 3cents per minute. Oman is much more expensive at 20cents a minute, 31.25cents if you are calling someone from Oman's cell.

I used dubai telecom deal (same as comwave for India ) It was 20 dollars a month unlimited , wind has a 20 dollar unlimited plan aswell .If you have a gmail account calling usa and canada is free for some reason , maybe promotonal offers.
