I need some help finding the most economical way to call the USA from Alex. I would need to spend up to 4-5 hours per day using the phone for business. I prefer to use mobile or landline because the internet is proven to be unreliable. The cheapest rates I can find are with a calling card for $0.39/min. That may sound cheap but do the math. It adds up quickly.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is nobody able to help my good friend Nelle on this one? Perhaps someone in Alex would have some advice? [Smile]

Thanks for the tips. I will investigate them. Do you all find the internet to be reliable? The calls I will be making with be business related so it is very important to have a strong, clear, stable connection. I would prefer to use a landline or mobile phone with a calling card. I have used Yahoo Messenger from home (USA) and Yahoo cuts off constantly. That frustrates me very much (understatement).

Where did you find .39 per minute? I spent over $3/minute from Cairo to Boston and paid well over $1,000 as a result in one month's bill!

This card has the best rates I have found so far. I have used it from other countries in the past but I didn't use it the last time I was in Egypt.
