said by maartena:Also, if you make an international call - such as to Europe - you really don't want to do that on a cell phone. First off, most providers actually charge you something like $5 extra just to have the international calling feature on your phone, and then they charge you insane rates of up to a dollar a minute to call to Europe, where with a landline and a good LD provider, I get 3 or 4 cents a minute to europe right now, and I call The Netherlands and the UK a lot.
This is an instance where Skype comes in very handy. Some of the best rates around... not to mention that if the other individual has Skype it is free.
