I’ve tried numerous online services like Skype, but I’ve found that most of them won’t let me pay for my minutes with my paypal account from within Morocco or I’ve run into other problems with billing that make it more than a little inconvenient. Even buying cheap international calling cards has been a problem because my cell carrier charges me by the minute even if I call a toll free number.

Bummer right? Well, it was. But all that is behind me now. I finally found the right service in the right place.through trial and error I’ve stumbled on a service that gives me all the flexibility I need and also (with some minor creative thinking) lets me have those conversations back without costing me 85 million dollars. In fact, I just had a half hour conversation with my brother that cost me less than a dollar. He’s in the USA and I’m in Morocco and even with my slower than slow internet connection…we had a clear as a bell conversation with almost no delay and no connection issues.

So, what’s the name of this company I’m suddenly in love with. Ah, never mind, Skype is probably the best or just use Google Plus or Facebook.
