    I use Vonage. Use the call forwarding feature to even use it to call from office.

    If you call frequently, vonage would be the best option. Else try Amantel - 1Cent per min to India mobile. Make sure you read their FAQ before signing up for a plan. Amantel call quality is good.

    You may also check http://www.indiald.com/aircel-plans/quarter-calls/ for quarter calls (25c for 60 min call).

    Hi,

    Even Teleblend is good...Same like vonage.

    But inTeleblend they have pakages for specific one place if you want like U.S unlimited long distance+incoming + China only/Thailland only/India only.

    We took India only plan as we are very sure we are not going to do anyother international calls other than India.Its $5/month less compare to Vonage plans.

    I compared both and felt this is worth.

    When you sign with referrel after 3 months both side gets $40 each(total 80$ from company)credited to their account.

    Go to vonage.com and enable call forwarding. Say if you want to call to a number in India 12345, go to vonage.com, enable call forwarding, set forward to '011-91-12345'. Now you dial ur vonage number from your mobile or office phone. It will forward the call to 12345 as you've enabled call fwding for ur vonage phone. Once you are done with your call, you may disable call forwading from vonage.com.

    Hi Usha,

    Can you please share the link of teleblend plans? I checked their site and couldn't find the one you specified. Do they have any middle-east plans? hows the call quality?
