I noted that this plan requires the use of a local access number, and you pay your regular airtime rates. So for example a call to Germany would effectively be costing you around $0.30 per minute. Somewhere like the Philippines would run $0.75/min. I was looking at the rates and pondering in which circumstances this method would be preferable to purchasing a long distance calling card from 7-11 and using the local access number it provides, which is what I have done in the past (for example via this method a call to somewhere like the Philippines would work out to $0.42/min). The benefit of the latter method aside from cheaper rates to many international destinations, would be the inclusion of USA and Canada rates, and no $1.99/month additional fee. Unless I've missed something I can't see where this package would be lucrative because the resultant cost of even calling the targeted countries of UK, Germany, China, and India would still be more than using a regular 7-11 long distance calling card.

On the Nokia phones, you will have to know how to program the phones to make one touch dialing easier
I believe it is (xxx)xxx-xxx (the local access number) then w, to wait, then the 011xxxxxx.... number.
Kind of expensive considering how convoluted the setup is.

this is for convenience rather than price. 25c(or 20 if one counts the 125 @ 100 discount) + 5c is still a lot.

Yak.ca Mobile Long Distance is a better deal. They have local access numbers, no monthly fee, rates from 1.9 cents per minute to the US (varies by country - for example 5 cents to the UK, 3.5 cents to China).
The service works perfectly with SpeakOut phones.

I use LocalPhone, its a lot better than average
Nothings perfect but I like this, Im sharing this because when I see India =5.5c I think of my old calling card rates, This service charges 1.5c-1.7c (you pay in USD), no monthly fees and no other wierd charges like connection fees or anything.

We have been using tel3advantage.com for a couple of years – pre-paid long distance from as low as 1.6¢/min (plus 1¢/min if you can't use a local access number and have to use their 800 number). They have iphone and android apps to integrate with your address books and can be set up so that you don't have to type in account and PIN information when calling from specific phone numbers (like your cell-phone).
