I was always pleased with www.idt.net and their Global Calling Cards (not the 'Penny-Talk). I think the Morocco rates vary from 18 to 26 cents depending on where/what you are calling, but the service is faboo. You really get your money's worth. Not the cheapest of all rates, but I never lost a cent for bad connections, rounding fees, etc.

The IDT Global Calling cards have been my best experience. You purchase it online. We never have issues on our end (just his family's end). It is instanteous for recharging (and you can even set it to automatic). You can also print out a calling history (if you want documentation for the visa interview,etc).

I've done some quick research on all listed above and the one that seems best is www.tel3advantage.com -- no weekly fee and free minutes for one thing, also low per minute rate 26 to cell phone casa. Also has a cool access feature where if you cannot connect one way you just hit a couple buttons to try other access, also two key speed dialing. Billed in one minute increments, not 3 or more. No hidden charges, they say. Pin free dialing. Check it out.

Go to Alosmart...........they have phone cards and are rated which is the best to use for all countries. They have increments anywhere from $5.00 on up on some cards. I have use Anytime and Absolute World. Alosmart is good to use.

We use a site called www.reliablecom.com and the Enterprise card to Morocco. The calls always go through and the connection is great and you get exactly the number of minutes it says. Also there have been a couple times where the call never cut off. So one night we bough a $5 -48 minute card and my hubby got to talk to his mom for like 4 hours! I would say it's the exception not the norm but we've tried lots of cards and like that one a lot.

We bought my husband's family a laptop ($400) and they are now paying for internet connection. Internet used to be really expensive in Morocco, but now I think it's only $20 a month. In the long run, it will be a lot cheaper than phone calls.

The webcam is so much nicer than a phone call...I just wish this option seemed feasible when my habibi was still in MOrocco--I remember paying $300 some months on phone calls! :blink:
