As must of you know my wife Joy is from the Philippines. One of her weekly routines is to call home to speak to her family. Besides her Mom and Dad she has two younger brothers and a younger sister.
It's been hard for her to be separated from her family and I encourage her to call home often. The only problem is it can get a bit expensive using the local phone companies. Yes they have international plans but often screw up and charge full price. Yes they will fix it after an hour on the phone but who needs that kind of hassle.
That is why joy started using a prepaid phone card. She is able to purchase them for what we can afford. And because it has a limit you can stay to a certain amount of time on the phone which also helps keep you on budget. If you use the regular phone companies there is no limit to how long you can talk so you can rack up way to high a bill. Using a phone card really is the best way to go if you intend to call home regularly and still be able to main a reasonable cost.

We wouldn't she try to use skype to call home? I suppose that every family nowadays has a PC at home and calling from PC to PC using skype is for free as far as I remember, all you need is a headphone with a microphone:)
