Last year I purchased Magic Jack and did set up here and got the US number and then took it to Nepal. For the first year it is $39.99 for full year that includes Magic Jack and after that you have to renew it every year which will cost about $20. Only thing is you have to have computer and the internet connection in Nepal. Only other problem might be the load shedding but in my case my family has no prblem about this as they have inverter. It does not use much electricity also. Before buying Magic Jack I used to spend lots of money on calling card but now I used that money to have inverter in Nepal. The good thing is they have light during load shedding also and we can talk free of charge.
