I thought about Magicjack but he couldn't find any info there. Do I need to buy it here in the US and take it with me there?

Yes, you must buy it and register it in the US. This will give you a US number.

Then take it to your country, plug it into a computer there, connect a phone to it, and you are ready to call any US number for free.

I found out that if I get my husband a Boost cell phone when he gets here we can add unlimited international calling for $10 (but land lines only) Then he can use viper , rebtel or some app to call his sisters who have a smart phone.

As we are getting closer to my husbands interview date we are starting to think about the little things. One thing that came up was international calling.

Me and my husband us skype now. But there is no way his mom and dad can learn this. His mom can't even use a cell phone. I need to find an inexpensive way for him to call home or for them to call here.

Any idea's?

cheapest international rates are with google talk.

all calls to the states are free
