The rates are 7.5 cents per minute so for $20 we get about 4.5 hours of talking time. They offer other cards as well but many have maintenance fees that can add up quickly. Another card we have tried is called Jupiter, but we’ve had problems connecting to some cities in Indonesia. We’ve also used Skype for computer to computer calls and that has worked well and is free. But for calls to landline phones we’ve been sticking with the calling cards. I’d be interested to hear what others are using when calling Internationally.
