Don't let the cost of international calls get you down any more. Instead, go check out international calling cards where you can pay a few dollars for a card and get low rates starting from a cent per minute.
Being a traveller for the last few years I really appreciate being able to buy a phone card and keep in touch with family. What's more, you can use the phone in your own house, or even a friend's phone and not get charged the usual rate. Of course if you use a payphone you still need to put money in the slot but overall it's still cheaper
Calling cards also mean you don't have to find an open Internet cafe. Nope, any phone will do, so make your calls when it's convenient for you, 3am in the morning and want to speak to someone in India, no problem with a calling card.
