nelle Member # 11016	posted 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.

nelle Member # 11016	posted 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).
