I know that this subject has been covered a few times before , but I'm bringing it up again anyways . I've been using 10-10-220 for the last few month for my phone calls to the FSU . Rates are (relatively) reasonable , sound quality and connections have been good and reliable . All in all , I've been satisfied with using 10-10-220 for my calls ; but I know that there are probably some other phone services or cards out there that I'm not aware of that may be better or more reasonable . Another guy I know , also using 10-10-220 for calls to the FSU , recently started having trouble with connections and so on. He found another service , slightly better rates , good sound and connection quality ; so he passed it along to me . I haven't used this phone service yet , but it has some of the same features that I like with 10-10-220 , and I'll probably try using it on my next phone calls . I'm just passing it along to you ; who knows , maybe it'll save somebody a few bucks .
I know that the phone cards usually offer cheaper rates ; but they don't have a good track record with me . The ones that I've tried were either unreliable as far as connections ; or the sound quality was pretty poor . And that might just be because of the ones I happened to try , or maybe it was a bad time to call , or whatever .
The website is www.startec.com ; and here are some of their advertised phone rates :
Belarus 22 cents/min
Czech Republic 12 cents/min
Estonia 17 cents/min
Georgia 16 cents/min
Germany 7.9cents/min
Poland 13.9cents/min
Russia 13.9cents/min
Moscow 8.9cents/min
StPetersburg 8.9cents/min
Ukraine 19.9cents/min
Kiev 13.9cents/min
Odessa 10.9cents/min
While shopping for the best phone rates , some of these sites are worth checking :

greatestphonerates.com
getpennytalk.com
saveonphone.com

If someone has found a particularly good/reasonable/reliable phone card or phone service , please post it here as I'm sure that a lot of guys here would find that info useful . If someone has had a bad experience with one of the sites I've listed , please post that info as well . I'm not recommending one phone service or card over another , just (like a lot of other guys ) looking for something that might be a little better or a little cheaper than what I'm using now . I'm just trying to post some info and links that guys can use when shopping for phone rates or for comparison . Any help appreciated .
Thanks , and
Good Luck to all ,
Don
