Cheapest way to call your loved ones overseas?

[babyckh]

I was using 1818 using my "non incoming call free" M1 plan previously. I got a heart attack when i received the bill. like waz a bro said, can fly to thailand with lotsa spare cash.

Finally i changed my M1 plan to incoming call free and switch to 15150. sound quality not bad but occasionally it is abit difficult to get thru'.

Any updates on latest cheap calling cards bros?especially to ...LOS?

[hosayboh]

try mustafa budget card, can find at........wherelse? mustafa loh

I use Access. It costs $8 per card and I get something like 300mins. It's also pretty easy to use, unlike the Hello card.

I tend to buy mine near Mustafa. Most of the vendors will carry it. I have looked at the Mustafa card, but their calling rates to LOS... was not on par with Access. That's why I prefer Access.

Actually depend on the country u call.

For Vietnam, I think the Chitchat calling card is still cheapest. U can get as cheap as $8 for $10 from Boon lay shopping centre, Chinatown.

Thanks to all bros for their replies and suggestions.I'll try it,thank you.

Whats the cheapest and best ways to call China?

Currently Im using 018 at $0.08/min hubber rates. Voice quality is good.

Anyone tried Home connect. Is the voice quality good as well.

Or any other cheaper ways?

I pay singtel mobile $5.35 per month, and get to call China and some other countries just using the bundled talk time. No IDD charges.

Based on my experiences, ALL calling cards, be it ICC, call-back or whatever other variation you can possibly think of, doesn't serve my specific purpose. I don't mind the hassle of topping up, even keying in a PIN number every single time I make a call, but the main bane is that all cards of such nature have terrible lag time - the voice quality is alright for most of it but the lagging just kills. I've tried everything - Hello, Phoenix, Green, and countless others, but they all suffer from the same exact problem. Most of the time me and my girlfriend's voice just overlap each other because of the lag and it's very, very irritating. We speak to each other a lot (and fairly quickly) so there's a lot of frustration when trying to talk. We both gave up eventually and are sticking to either MSN or sms now. At least it's much cheaper that way.

If any friends here can introduce me a good calling card (nevermind the cost) that has little or no lag I'll be eternally grateful. Right now I'm willing to pay premium prices for international roaming charges just to get a normal conversation going (you know, the "I've finished speaking, now it's your turn" thing) but it's really killing my wallet.
