Other options for long distance calling? 10-10 services?

[lobotiger]

Hi everyone. Got my SIP credentials over the weekend and have configured my PAP2T-NA and the service seems to be working great! Even the wife says she can't really tell the difference between it and our Rogers Home Phone. Quality is certainly much better than the PC client.

Just had a quick question regarding dialing international numbers. Normally we use 10-10-YAK when dialing places like Italy. Its rare that we call but the odd time it's nice that it's only $0.10/minute. With FPL, does one still have the option to pick a 10-10-x service or are you restricted to using FPL's long distance service & rates?

Thanks for offering this great service and look forward to any replies.

P.S. I didn't see particular question in the FAQs but please direct me there if this has already been answered before.

Your long distance calls would be restricted to our own vouchers, yes. The vouchers never (ever, ever, ever) expire, as we try to provide the most competitive rates possible they are for the most part considerably lower than our competitors. If you find a lower rate we are of course open to you pointing it out, too!

Please see our complete list of Italy rates here

For all other rates see our rate lookup page

I've also edited your subject so this particular topic is easier to find for those users who use the search function.

Alternative, contact me for info on setting up an alternative way that will save you tons of money through VoipDiscount, who's listed price for phone calls to Italy are Free for landlines, and 23 cents a minute for Mobile calling (yes, expensive, but if you're calling landlines it's free)

Italy (Landline) FREE* FREE* FREE*
Italy (Mobile) € 0.2300 € 0.2645

Also, reap the benefits of free* calling to North America *** (so you don't have to incur the $0.04 connection fee, and save money)

Lobotiger, I can't see what the problem is. Yak will charge you 10 cents/min., whereas FPL charges only 3 cents to an Italian landline. Just go ahead and enjoy this service!

Thanks everyone. Yes it does appear that the rates for FPL are cheaper than Yak so I'll be using it instead. Just have to add some credits to the account once we're ready to convert fully over to it at home. Oh and train the wife to make sure she doesn't hit 10-10-yak before dialing.
