Alright, just so I don't bore you with any details, I am currently living in Japan quite unexpectedly. I only found out I would be moving here a month before actually moving, and I have left all my friends and girlfriend behind.

For now, I'm just video chatting via Skype when I can, but I would also like the option to call landlines and mobiles (which I understand Skype has, but the rates are not very good?). So what do you guys use for international calls?
I'm doing some research on my own, but i would like some opinions before I actually spend real money!
