There are several phone cards you can buy. Go to megaprepaid.com and they have a bunch. If you got your phone service through SBC or AT&T they have a "asia super saver plan" that worked well for me. If the person you are calling has broadband internet in their home the best thing is to get them a Vonage internet phone. I have one for Luz. She now has a local American phone number in her home. I can talk to her all day long and she can call me as much as she wants for the monthly charge of $15/month.

Do a search online for calling cards and compare with each other.

You will find some great deal for as low as 2-3cents per minute.

For Indonesia, check with Indomerchant.com

They have a calling card for $17.50 which offers 153 minutes to a cellular phone. Land lines offer many more minutes.

It is an online card, meaning that they will send a pin to your e-mail account. Local U.S. dialing numbers are available on the site.

One minute rounding and clear connections. Give them a go.

Someone suggested www.mobilecaller.com, their sample rate to the Philippines is $0.10/minute.

I know they offer a decent rate to Russia but I have not tried their service yet, though I intend to on Thursday! =)

I have had a very nice experience with this site. Please try and you wont regret.

I used to use IDT which is very very expensive.

we have been talking on MSN messenger and skype(in case MSN problem)...

we can also see each other (we have webcam)...read VJ together all the time

But you have to have High Speed Internet, I don't know about how much does it cost in Philippine or Indonesea.

The best thing on talking via MSN is that you can take, chat, wink and especially send kisses :P

Robert said: http://www.nobel.com/

"For phone access we use the

Nobel ONESECOND THAILAND CELL (Recharge) Card, 1 $50.00 PIN.

(www.nobel.com)

The charge is $0.06/minutes. I know there are some cheaper cards,

but I have been pretty happy with this particular one.

It does not have a monthly service fee and allows me to call

Waen's cell phone. (some plans seem to distinguish between

cell phone and regular pots service).

I do know Nobel

offers many other cards... I'm really not

recommending it. Just noting that it seems to work for us."
