However, you can use applications such as Skype or Yahoo Messenger to make VOIP calls using broadband. PC to PC calls are free but PC to Phone (fixed/mobile) are payable. Yahoo is cheap - 8c/min (or 32~35 paise/min) for international calls. Skype gives better clarity but more expensive.

thanks for your kind advise.

Oops. A mistake in my post. Using Yahoo voice, calls cost 8c/min or Rs. 3.20/min.

He! He! 32p would be ridiculously cheap.
