Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a reliable, cheap way to call anywhere in the world? Happy to call from my computer or mobile. I would only need it for a couple of weeks, as I attempt to sort out some placements in SE Asia.
Upon looking at Skype, I notice that their list does not include Vietnam…can anyone confirm this? I would have to call multiple countries, including Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, Vietnam, etc.
Thanks!
Ya that's quite a bit more than I was hoping to spend.
Surely there is a much easier and cheaper option. Thanks for the suggestion though!
cout >> "Hello World!"
lol, anyway, provided the person you are calling has a computer or a smart phone, ask them to get Viber and you can use it as a VoIP.
Good suggestion, but unfortunately I need to call because the administrative staff at some hospitals in Asia aren't the best at returning e-mails efficiently, nor am I even confident I have the correct e-mails, so I doubt me asking them to download Viber would be a viable solution haha.
Makes sense for many other similar situations though!
Oh dear, I hope you are not taking C++ for marks. It should be:
cout << "Hello World"
You should have guessed from the direction of the arrows. We won't go into other things like std::cout being required now.
LOL, my bad, this was going back to my high school days. I honestly can't remember if i did it right XD
what country were you wanting to call?
There are some prepaid sims with decent international calls (granted it's not unlimited)
Try Lyca mobile

In general, Asia.
Line app is really cheap, I use it on my iphone. Only 1 cent per min to America, Singapore, China etc. Thailand is 2 cents per minute. You can buy $5 or $10 credit amounts if you want to try it out.
To call people overseas who may not have skype, viber, etc., buy a phonecard from your nearest Asian grocer. Different cards have differest rates but the grocer should have a rate card for you to look at to make the best card selection. Some of these cards let you call overseas for the cost of a local call + 1c to 10c per minute. You get a lot of bang for your buck with these cards……….. You can sometimes use the same cards to make STD calls for just a few cents instead of paying the ridiculous Telstra or Optus rates.
Buy a Lycra or hello talk call card from most news agency or as stated above places. So cheap.
