What’s the best phone package to call landlines and cellphones in India? I’m paying $50 a month for a vonage line and it’s only used one-off when my in-laws visit.

Yes it’s so convenient and cheap

After I finished undergrad and was waiting to join TCS, I worked for Vonage tech support 😆. What a fun experience it was

funny

Google Voice is the cheap and best alternative.. it charges 1c/minute to India and you can use the same app to call your friends across the globe

Dial 91 - unlimited calling, $10 per month

Deloitte’s Verizon plan allows for unlimited calls to India. Call my USI colleagues and family. Never received an upcharge. Also, when both sides have good WiFi, I just use WhatsApp.

Phone India, $8 per month best voice & also the app

Vonage is now stoneage...

Close Vonage immediately. At&T or T-mobile have a unlimited India calling feature for 15$/M . Works brilliantly.

Does google voice work for calls to India?

Yes it does. It’s actually a very good option and it’s pay as you use. So we don’t need to pay monthly charges

Google Voice. For all international calls. 1c/min for India

Google voice is also pay as you go. Fill 8n $10 and speak for 1000mins

WhatsApp call. It’s free 😉

I bloody hate whatsapp. Many a times the signal won't be good, and my mom would keep talking thinking it's all fine. Seriously, yeah whatsapp is free, and if the wifi or 4G is good in India you'll be fine, but I stick to a combo of Google voice and Skype. Just superior quality.

I'm probably biased against whatsapp on account of the amount of fwds the elders in the family insist on sending. Shit like हे we've finally conquered cancer through fasting... GOD!!

Nothing beats the “good morning” picture and message every ten seconds

Having a son (first) next year and looking for a birth year watch to hand down.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
