International calls from JAPAN

[gummadi]

I would like to knew the available International calling cards for INDIA-HYDERABAD from Japan.

I knew about Brastel which is very costly.

I use YAHOO BB at my home, so I would like to prefer calling cards who has BB phone option to call.

Thanks N Advance

Are you using Yahoo BB phone service? I know someone who did this for international calls and claimed that the only thing cheaper would be IP phone (which is often computer-to-computer phoning, such as Skype).

If you can read Japanese, see:

I will let you know if yahoo has prepaid cards at discount; I've never seen any (but wasn't really looking).

gummadi,

There is a Yahoo Group for BB users,

You might want to drop them an e-mail and see what advice they can give you.

I was recently introduced to two services for making overseas calls. The first one is actually VOIP service. The website is : http://www.voipstunt.com/en/index.html. It allows you to make free PC-to-phone calls to a number of countries. Unfortunately, I don't see India listed but, you can still give it a try...nothing to lose, right?

Information on the other service is available here : www.yasukonodenwa.co.jp. This is not VOIP. You have to pay aone-time fee of 4000 yen then choose a monthly charge plan. Calls within the plan (both domestic and overseas are charged at 20yen/min. If you exceed your limit for the month then it rises to 40yen.

Check them out, maybe they'll prove useful.

Hi,

I will not be surprised if you have the details by now since your posting was long ago. However, I would like to mention names of some cards which are very cheap.
1. MCI supercard ZAMZAM - www.bwi.jp
2. Ambika cards- go to www.ambikajapan.com for the details
3. Indojin cards- www.indojin.com

Hope this helps
