Google Voice. 1 cent per minute and great clarity while speaking.

Have had Vonage for the longest time. Useful if you have family in other countries too and prefer a landline like option

Google Voice .

WhatsApp as primary. And google voice as backup option

Have had Vonage for the longest time. While I speak with my parents 4-5 times a week, my wife prefers to speak with hers twice daily. Not sure if Google Voice would be a better option than Vonage.

VP1. Do the math. Vonage is anyday expensive. With 1 cent a minute you can’t beat google voice. Plus you can use google voice using a landline connector. Google Obivoip. It’s a one time investment of 40-50$ and you get free landline

Thanks for the suggestion IBM1. I didn't know about Google voice for India and the ladnline at all!

$5 or $10 international add-on on T-Mobile for unlimited calling.

T-Mobile 15$ unlimited calls to bunch of countries. When I’m in India I can connect to a WiFi and use the same plan to call the same list of countries! I think it’s pretty awesome

Marital counselling, mental health and therapy (through certified professionals) has been a taboo everywhere, but this is especially true amongst desis - be it in India or desis abroad. However, I’m curious to know how effective or useful it has been for people who have ACTUALLY gone through counselling when going through marital issues, for example. There are many comments recommending it, but are people speaking from personal experience or because it’s been popularised in web series/movies/TV?
