I ended up saving about $30 a month on my international long distance.
I'm using
www.rebtel.com
They offer a free 5 minute test call that I appreciated to try out their service.
The calls from a landline here in Oregon to a land line in Cali are .029 per minute.
So far so good. The call qualitie's good, and no problems with connections.
She dials a local number that is an in state long distance call to connect with her mother. I have unlimited in state call coverage, so that doesn't cost me anything extra.
Now a 1 hour call from my wife to her mother costs me about $1.80 instead of $5.40.
That's a big savings that makes me happy.
Thanks to Big E for his help.
