I signed up for service with this company. They advertised a "Small World" plan with unlimited world-wide calling for $49.99 residential.

If you go to their main website now. They removed the word "unlimited" from their main page for the Small World plan.

They also impose a cap on the minutes which they didn't have before. Here's an email I got from them, because I was calling too much.

- SmallWorld is designed for users who fall within the industry standards for residential usage of 750-1000 average minutes per month. SmallWorld allows costumers to use a percentage of their usage to stay in touch with friends and family overseas without worrying about additional per minute rates. These percentages vary based on the countries called most frequently.

Well, take your business elsewhere. (vote with your feet)

If your friends have PCs, you can talk free using any of several free programs. Talk around the world for nothing.

So...best case (when you use all of your allowed minutes) you're basically paying 5 to 7 cents per minute. It depends on where you're calling but there's a good chance that you could do better with a simple per-minute plan.

least you would know where you stand.

Yeah, these "unlimited" plans make me anxious. There's no telling what the limits are.

If you call only a few people, you might want to consider just sending the folks you call a cheap voip phone and calling them directly via Free World Dial

With shipping you can get a Grandstream BugeTone for $80 ea. After that the calls are free (well, you both still pay your ISP's for the DSL or cable modem at each end of the call, but other than that the call is free.)
