1. Dial 0 for operator (helpful as well as asking for the time in a particular country).
2. Call your telephone company and see what long distance plans they have.
3. Buy a prepaid phone card.
4. Use yahoo voice chat (free).
5. Find out what hours are the cheapest to call.

Some options to consider

Depends on where you're calling and whether you're calling a mobile or a land line. I had a nightmare of a time using pre-paid calling cards here, so I generally wouldn't recommend those.

Most long distance companies give about the same rates for calling land lines but calling mobiles for some reason is really expensive. pout I've found MCI to be cheaper than Qwest for calling mobiles in the UK.

From what I was told, a lot of my international grad school frienda said that those cards were like major rip offs. Basically, the key is to find a good land line carrier if internet jet chat is not an option.

I'd recommend getting a calling card, you can get much better rates that way nod Ask in your local store.

It depends on the companies. You have to be careful.

i like the prepaid cards... but you have to search to find the right card - they all have different rates and different fees
