You may want to check out Onesuite.com pay as you go VoIP service.

Something I've never understood is pricing for OneSuite. I note that making calls to US numbers is 2.5 cents/minute, 1.9 cents/minute to Canada and 2.4 cents/minute to call Israel.

Why would it be cheaper to make a call to Canada or to Israel than it would be to make a domestic US call?

There are at least two answers to that: 1) "what the market will bear." 2) "what they have to pay the terminating LEC."

  1. you are assuming there is a connection between what their costs are, and what they can charge the user, for a given call.
  2. they may well get better rates from the International carriers they use, as opposed to the US carriers and LECs they must use.

I think it depends on the local carrier. I noticed European countries are somewhat the cheapest countries to call outside of US and Canada. This is the same thing with other long distance service providers so the pricing isn't really limited to Onesuite. Oh yes China is cheap too and some Asian countries like Singapore.
