after reading this thread, i went ahead and bought this "himtel premium" card and used it to call back home forthe past 2 days. I have to say that it wasn't too bad. One day, it took me a few tries to get connected but didn't deduct any mins (surprisingly!)...I have been using Raza calling card (used to be good but expensive), but they've started deducting money even if the call doesn't go through and they never put it back.. I took a risk with $5 on this one and so far, I'm happy with it...
