Has anybody have any issues with plugging the adaptor in Nepal and making calls? I am planning to buy AllVoi service and taking adaptor to Nepal. Any issues with ISP provider in Nepal using VoIP? Thanks for sharing your info with me.

nepaliinmissouri, That's a good idea for just about $36 per year. But your family in Nepal has to keep proper track of load shedding schedule, turn the computer on as soon as the electricity resumes and call you. $36 a year may be dirt cheap (compared to crappy calling cards to Nepal) for some people but I love something that's really free.

So if I use a skype desktop phone in Nepal and get a US number from ring2skype.com, will I also be able to receive calls from Nepal rather than just make calls to Nepal?

All of things described above are procedure about how to call to Nepal. Is it possible to have free call from Nepal to US with that device installed you said yes, but have not described the procedure. As far as I know you have to pay 3cents/minute on skype to call to US local number. And in magic jack it will be free isn't it? //

No matter which VoIP you use, we can not pass the shortage of power supply. May be laptop is an option as well small battery charger may be used to power up? I am guessing Niel dai must have some plan about the regular power supply as he is planning to have a regular phone line available 24/7.

In the ring2skype website, one is required to choose country and a specific region. I chose United States but since the state I am in is not included in the list of regions, can I just go ahead and choose any region? Does it matter at all?

I heard, Magic Jack was sold free after mail in rebate too. If that is the case, simple and easy to use by our parents is PLUG in and Dial the number?

Magicjack is easy to use. You pay $40 for the first year and $20 there after for per year. Problem with it is that it needs to be connected to a desktop or a laptop to use. Which, by the way, it not practical solution for Nepal.
Like " _ " suggested on his/her posts, you are better off buying a Skype phone and use it along with ring2skype phone number. I am trying to simplify on what " _ " has mention on his/her posts.
1. register for Skype Id. 2. sign up for a phone number @ ring2skype. (sign up for a phone number where you reside in, ie US number if you are in the US, UK number if you are in the UK) 3. buy a Skype phone (one that does not require a desktop/laptop to use. like Belkin desktop Skype phone) 4. sign up for a ADSL line back home. 5. get a UPS back up to run your router and Skype phone ( so that the phone is live even during the load shedding) 6. plug your Skype phone into router and power it up. 7. Now you can call Nepal using the US local number associated with that Skype ID. 8. To call US from Nepal, you need to buy credit from Skype. (you can ask your family members to give you a miss call if they want to talk to you so that the Skype credit will almost never expire)
Your Costs: ADSL line in Nepal: Rs. 900 per month for lowest bandwidth available plus one time router and UPS back up costs ( I have no idea how much these cost in Nepal) Skype Desktop phone $80 SkypeOut phone credit $10
And be able to call home any time you want for free: Priceless : =)

Syanjali,
Yes, you do not need a computer to run a Skype phone. However you do need to power it up. That is the reason, you need UPS backup to keep your router and the phone running during load shedding.
