If you need to make lots of international calls, Fring may be worth a look as they’re offering a sweet deal on their fringOut service.
You’ll need an account and to install their software either to your computer, smartphone or tablet but $7 per month looks to be good value. Once you have the software, you can sign up for the offer by clicking the fringOut icon in the app.
The list of countries the offer applies for is on the fring site.

Skype was much better in comparison, so it’s definitely possible to get reasonable quality, but Fring was exceptionally bad.
