International phone calls

[zetta]

DH's parents live in Australia, and we talk to them quite a bit -- 234 minutes last month. If you make a lot of international calls, what's the best option you've found?

With AT&T our plan is $7/mo + $6 taxes/fees + $0.09/minute.

We tried skype, but found we'd rather talk on an actual phone than do a video call.

[TBH]

I make a lot of international phone calls for work and I use Skype almost exclusively. I don't use the video feature, just a headset plugged into my computer. If the other person uses Skype too, it's free. If not, it's pretty inexpesive to call a land line. Much more expensive to call their cell phone.

My brother lives in Europe and a lot of people in our family use one of those 10-10 numbers to call him. I find that to be too much of a pain, though.
