Hi ,
Till recently I was using Magic Jack + Raza.com @ 1c/m for calling India ..
Recently MJ has prevented local access numbers of Raza.com as they want MJ Users to buy international minutes from them which is 2.8 c/m for India.
What are some cards / providers that can work with Magic Jack for calling India at a good rate ? ... I tried LocalPhone but they have also advised that MJ has prevented their VoIP numbers also ...
Any other combination CD s use with Magic Jack - please advise ....
Alternatively what other choices do I have if I wish to retain MJ ..
a. Use Google Voice .. I think its 1.6 c/m .
b. Ship over an MJ unit to India .. not very practical as I call other numbers as well.
c. Switch over to Free Phone Line ....
d. Switch over to Vonage ....
Please advise on popular services used ......Wondering if there are any well priced calling cards to India like Reliance and all ....

It all depends on your usage . If you have a heavy user for international calls and like to use different features like call forwarding e.t.c than Vonage may be a good choice . I am using it for last three years and never been happier .
Best feature I like is that you can forward your home phone # to any desired no you want to call and than connect to India e.t.c via your cell phone . I find it quite convenient . In short you can use your home phone as gateway to call anywhere from anywhere .
Hope that helps a little .

Please don't tell any one. And Please don't tell MJ also. SCREW THEM.
I know, I know you want to know that too. I will softly blow in your ears. And the last time used that phrase, a BongaBandhu Blew up. It happens.....and so does S...!! too.
I have a phone that retains the digits for fast dialing. So, I use the fast dial system to retain the access numbers and the PIN # too.
Since you have MajicJack, you can use any and all access numbers provided by RAZA. They have tonnes of them for use all over Canada. ASK them for a PIN Number for that account of yours with them.
Now you got the drift. Dial any access number that is valid in Canada or the USA and then the PIN, which they gave you. (One touch now) Bingo you are sent to the Overseas dialing system. You use 0 11 91 and out. (And that could be loaded up into the speed dial system on your own phone, if there is space.
NOW to the Blowing softly into some ones' ears. I asked my better half Hey when I blow softly in your ears what happens to you? She rolled up a newspaper and started to wang me over my head. I started to duck. (And I pretended to like it) and demanded once again what happens??!!
She said 'You wicked old man', you still don't know what it does? I said NO?.
It turns the head lights on and BLOWS the tits UP.!!!
WOW, thank you Majic Jack.

Here is one more system if your calling costs are over $12/per month on an average, or there are a lots of friends scattered all over the world. These $12 x 12 months x 5 years comes to = $720 bucks. We don't think that far ahead, so put your thinking cap on and do some arithmetic. At the end of the day the equipment is yours.
Here is a link to them.
They charge you $300 + Tax for starters. Then the rest of the scheme rolls in.
You can call anyone in 73 Countries etc.,......

Sooner or later MJ will prevent any long distance provider since they seem to be pushing their own LD service.
I do not have MJ. A few months ago a trick that I tried at my friend's place and seemed to work is to call long distance access numbers, so if you are in Toronto, call Kitchener access number of your long distance provider like localphone.com, it will ask for PIN but that seemed to work. You can try if it still works.
Localphone.com and Rebtel.com also have apps for mobile phones and they allow calls to be made over WiFi.
Rebtel also has a app that you can download and make calls from your PC.

If you have any other phone which can forward your call to calling card access number (Raza or other voip company), it works from MJ.
I am using MJ with unlimited internet from Acanac. Acanac provides home phone line free (not sure if it is only for first year). I was not using Acanac phone line at all but now I am using it and forwarding all calls to calling card access number.
From MJ, I dial acanac VOIP number and it goes to my calling card company and then I dial international number. There is no issue. It works.
