I can pull up our entire history of calls on Rynga very easily. I wonder how I can see how much it would be to call Ghana...hmmmmm well I hope you find something cheaper. Also, you can send a tex message from Rynga. Good luck!

I just checked on Rynga..in Euro it is to call a landline .06/min a mobile is .16/min in dollars that turns out to be landline .07.min and mobile is .19/min

Still too much!!! its crazy- why have they gone up sooo much!

Right now the skype subscriptions are the cheapest per minute- but with the limited minutes its a hard choice... or like i said we can get multiple accounts...

Another thing I've started doing is making Youtube videos for him (unlisted, so only he has the link). It's not like talking on the phone, but he can make them for me too, at an internet cafe that has a webcam. And it's totally free (for me anyway), I can show him what my life is like, and we can print out the webpages to show at the interview. No idea if that will actually help us there or not. It makes me feel better anyway.

Hey friends..I just recently I switched my mobile service to prepaid virgin mobile which on the sprint network. Anyways...the ghana mobile rate is .20 cents a min. and my friends there say the quality is a lot better than when i used pingo and its 3 cents cheaper...also its so much easier for me to just click on their number and call them rather than dial pingo then out from there. Just fyi. YOu also get free minuts if someone your refer using your number mine is NJDPXPOJ

One way I communicate with friends there is through facebook. If they have a phone that is internet accessible (which is not uncommon) they can go on facebook with there own sim minutes. it breaks down this way (as explained to me)when they go to facebook and read and reply to messages...the cost is 15 facebook replies vs one sms. so very cheap for them....with the virgin mobil I have unlimited internet on it and i have my facebook send me a text whenever i get a facebook message...so they get a reply quickly from me. its waaaay cheaper than how i handled it before. there is no international text packages though with virgin moble:( so it cost .15 to send and receive which is fine cause lately mtn has not even been delivering them so we dont even use txt anymore.

if anyone knows a cheaper rate offered for ghana from a cell phone let me know im always trying to figure out how to save some change. Hope this helps.

Wow! Thanks for that info.

Yr welcome. by the way, it does show on their website your history so u can print it all...so believe me that is much easier than having to print history from different sources for proof at interview. i pay 40 a month for 1200 anytime minutes and unlimeted domestic text and internet...which is perfect for me since we keep intouch on facebook. You can top up for at least 10 bucks at website or buy the top up cards. its so much easier than buying pingo and the quality is better. and its so cool for me just to click on their name on my cell and dial direct.

I have been a faithful memeber of VIP communications and also Rebtel. You can send me a direct message so I can send you a referral link.

Also, maybe you want to try using webcam and talk online. Whether or not you use Skype, Yahoo, or Google, the calls will all be free and you can talk as long as you want. For us, Yahoo and Google have worked best because they don't use as much bandwidth for their web calling as Skype.

Skype has something called "Skype To Go," which lets you use Skype on your cell phone or home phone. I call my personal access number, and once connected I dial Ghana. So, I program the Skype To Go access number in my cell and when connected I press the speed dial number to call Ghana. I literally press two numbers to dial Ghana. Skype To Go was dang near perfect till the rates to Ghana increased.

Nope, no downloading at all. It's like using one of those pre-paid phone cards, but it is better because you add credit to your acct when needed, it's your very own personal number (the access number), and it has speed dial.
