If you're calling the UK or Germany often you might benefit from a UK or
German number from www.sipgate.co.uk
Note if you want a normal geographic UK number you must register from a UK
IP address.

The Broadvoice $19.95 plan includes all the big countries in western
Europe as well as China and Taiwan. The $24.95 plan adds the rest of
western Europe and some other countries. See www.broadvoice.com.
Nobody's flat rate plan includes calls to mobile phones outside North
America, since the carrier has to pay a surcharge that they pass along
to you.

Are these plans really a good deal for most folks when compared to the
ala carte plans at 1 to 2 cents/minute? I guess I can't picture a
situation where I'd be spending over 1,000 minutes on the phone per
month when averaged over the whole year.

| Where do you make the most calls to, is it primarily within the US, or
outside. I see you call W. Europe and China a lot, but my question is
whether those areas comprise the majority of your calls?

Calls to North American mobiles are no different from calls to North
American landlines. We don't use the caller overpays scheme that most
of the rest of the world does.

And we don't have to pay for receiving unwanted calls on our mobiles.
I know which I would prefer.

Given that most US mobile plans have more minutes included than you can
ever use, the use of a few of them for the odd unwanted call is minimal
and more than offset by the advantage to the caller of not paying through
the nose.
I wish the US option was available here.
