Voip calling plan for calling South Africa.?

Question

Voip for calling South Africa.

I call South Africa a lot and I cant find any VOIP company that includes South Africa in there plan.

Where can I find a VOIP plan that includes unlimited calls to South Africa?

I already looking at Vonage and packet8.net

Thank you,

Answer 1

Unlimited calling packages to South Africa really don't exist.  Even if it did, it would probably be very expensive.  Probably somewhere between $50-$75/month.

You don't necessarily need an "unlimited" calling plan to have a "good" low-cost plan.

For example, how many hours do you actually call to South Africa each month?  Or per week?

Let's take CallCentric VoIP service for example.

Their rate to South Africa is 6 cents/min.

If you called S.Africa for 3 hours/wk, or 12 hours/month (720 minutes), then your monthly calling bill would be .06 x 720 = $43.20.  That really isn't a bad deal...

If you use a soft-phone there is no hardware to buy.  Just use your PC and a headset.  If you get a Linksys PAP2T or SPA2102, you can talk using a regular telephone plugged into the VoIP adapter.  CallCentric is BYOD, but InPhonex sells the ATA's.  InPhonex rate to S.Africa is only 7 cent/min.  In which case 12 hours of monthly calling would be $50.40.

These companies are only pay-as-you-go.... No Contracts or strings.

And if the people you talk to in S.Africa have accounts with CallCentric or InPhonex too.... all calls between account holders are FREE with "in-network" VoIP calls.

Answer 2

you will not find any other VoIP for Africa.....I use Packet8 and I get 40 foreign countries for free, but not Africa...there is only one solution you might consider and that's the MagicJack!

the MJ will only be free if you send one to Africa and you have one too...so, if you have more then one person its not worth it!! The international rates are still too expensive....!

one of the cheapest one would be voice.yahoo.com, I also use it!!
