Good rates on VOIP

[lippy 773]

I just got cut off talking to a friend in Mexico City on Skype and I can't buy more credit cause I've reached my monthly maximum.

To call a cell in Mexico on Skype it's like $.33/minute (It's over double that to call long distance from my cell out of North Mexico).

Is there any other VOIP provider that's got good rates and good quality? I looked at Cheapvoip.com but their rates aren't that much better (good enough that I'll make the switch though). If anybody knows of a better choice that's got good quality and I can trust with my credit card number please pass it on.

I got nuthin

Maybe use a calling card. I use NobelCom.com to call Europe; about 2c/minute. Use your whatever regular phone, call a local access number for Nobel.
I am considering getting a MagicJack dongle for my laptop, which gives free internal U.S. calls, so in effect a VOIP with the Nobel rate for international calls.
I checked, and to a cell phone in Mexico 9-13c/minute; to a regular land line 2-3c/minute.
Quality with Nobel is ok, sometimes bad, but can't beat the price. Initial Nobel card is $10-$20, so worth trying.

Mexico to Mexico calls? Seemingly when you buy a MagicJack you get/choose a U.S. phone number. According to their info their system treats all calls from your computer as U.S. sourced calls, so I presume calling the U.S. Nobel access would work. Then your internal Mexico call would get routed through the U.S. back to Mexico at the above rates.

Vonage has a Mexico/Latin America plan for like $10, on top of normal service of $25 month....so $35/month for unlimited.

I've used Gizmo several times on my Nokia 770 - it works well.

Internationally - I've used it from Japan to USA and was happy with the quality.

Gizmo is also very cheap but I have not used it consistently to get a good feel for using it as a primary phone.

I really like OneSuite.com, it's not a plan, it's like a pre-paid phone card that you can keep adding money to. I nkow I pay 2.2 cents a minute for England
