tommyesq73 comments on Unlimited International Calling Plans

crossfone Thought I'd give crossfone a try so i signed up...so far the connection is fine. If you have free nationwide calling from ure landline the calls will be free for a monthly fee of 19.99 for the first 3 months...calls to cali or bogota are at a around 24.99 after the first three months but to medellin its 34.99. if oyu dont get free nationwide calling, you'll have to pay .02 cents per minute per call. however, the customer support will put money on your acct for you for free to cover the .02 cents per minute...which was kind of cool.

I took vonage down to medellin only problem is that the so-called banda ancha we got in our home in medellin is too slow...make sure ure internet connection in colombia is atleast 100 kbs for upload. if you don't ure connection will be so choppy you wont be able to understand anything. you can goto dslreports . com to check ure speed...make sure ure looking at upload and not dl.

I also use a cpl other calling cards...best ive found so far is for 9 cents to colombian cell....5.8 cents to medellin....and 3.8 cents to cali and bogota....there are no other hidden fees...anyways...hope this helps.
