Ok this is the method to call cheap

In sri lanka you must have ADSL , connect a device called PAP2 (in sri lanka the price is 6000/= but its cheaper abroad if you send it here)
register it with a free voip provider (its for free)

lets say you have the above setup,

Select a local number where you live (most of the countries are there)
http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/pstnNumbers
dial the local number and dial <your sip number>

YOUR CALL COST WILL BE THE LOCAL CALL COST to that Number (Most of the time free UK/USA/Canada)


SO YOU CAN TALK MORE

we use skype or calling cards. there is also an application for mobile phones called EQO mobile- that is excellent for cheap calls and texts-- each time you get a friend to join, they give you free money credits.

Ok non belivers, dial one of the numbers given in the link and see, Eg : London +44-20-7100-6747 ,
It should say "Welcome to SIP broker PSTN gateway, please dial the number after the beep .. "
if you have a SIP Number you may dial (SIP number means the number you get from the VOIP company (which is free)

 

[samueldaniel7]

But dont forget the requirements, here in sri lanka you should have a PAP2 connected to ADSL ,
you cant call regular land lines

Net to Phone- we are using many here -justVoip, Vyke,snapcalls, Royalcalls, Gccphone, this all are costing per/Min-0.18$ to SL All of this site are Bloked by our Telecom, in black market ppl are selling Cards for 10$ some u can re-charge thru internet by Credit Card.even Yahoo has the same but its also blocked.

[samueldaniel7]

This is method is good if you have your parents here in sri lanka , they dont have to logon to comptuer, they can use the normal telephone to answer the call, so tis convenient and it gives the phone experiance (some dont like the headsets u know)
