VOIP Based International Mobile Calls

Anyone who travels a lot knows that calling home from other countries can cost a fortune. With the MobileTalk plan from Packet8 you can now call anywhere in the world easily and affordably, saving up to 90% on typical international calls. The best part about this plan is that there are no calling cards to carry around, no PIN numbers to remember and no data plan or hot spots are required!
Todays cell phones generally work anywhere in the world, which is a huge part of how this VOIP international calling system works. Even just a few years ago, phones were only usable in the countries they were sold in, so even if you had brought your phone on vacation, chances are it wouldn’t work at all. Now you can make digital calls from nearly anywhere to anywhere.
To get started you simply create an account, download a the MoblieTalk application and then whenever you make an international call, the application will automatically re-route your call accordingly and save you tons of money. For example, if I were to call Singapore using my phone as it is, it would cost me over $1.00 a minute. Using MobileTalk it would cost just 3 cents a minute. There is an activation fee of $9.99 and then a monthly fee of $9.99, but if you make more than a few international calls a month it is definitely worth it.
There’s a little contest going on for this at the Yahoo Bix community and voting should be available within the next few days, vote for me please!

That’s not the REAL Santa, he’s at my mall.
Good idea using Santa!
My daughter wanted me to do our video dressed up like Santa. Only problem? We don’t own a Santa suit! Great job!
Hohoho! Santa you need to eat some more cookies :)
Great video - I was laughing at the start when you said you do more traveling in one night…. haha… that was good.
Drop by to see Pirate Pete making international calls from the high seas!
Thanks for the compliments all =)
And trust me, I eat enough cookies as it is!
That’s a good Santa– calling the Missus from time to time.
