Hello all, It was great to hear that google /Voice  Phone-call went public in USA. Google has said it will be charging 19cents to Nepal's  landline/cell compared to skype's quite expensive 41cents.Those who tried  to call back home with google , I am sure many of you did, as google claims 4 mil. calls in 2days . Pls share your experience , how is the call quality compared to Skype? Is it worth a try ?  Your feedback is very much appreciated.

i think skype is good. you can pay just 2.99 in a month and you can call free for whole month anywhere in USA. you can give same skype ID to your family back home. I have been doing the same.

How about HIMTEL ? Use the HIMTEL PREMIUM pinless service for Nepal cell rate is 10 c per min, and cheaper for landlines.  For US domestic home phone, I use magic jack. 20$ a year.

I tried to make call in US its free. I tried to call back home but it only rings to phone seems doesn't connect without paying but it doesn't prompt i have to pay also. I have google voice no that maps to my cell phone. So someone from nepal can call my google voice no for free?

I actually use Google Voice to make calls from my cellphone to Nepal. No pins just dial the number and done. 19c good quality.

I have not called Nepal with Google Voice but I received call from Nepal. The connection was crystal clear. No lags. Personally, i do not use calling cards to call Nepal even though they are cheaper. They are cheaper for a reason. Poor call quality and sometimes you cannot connect. I have been using the account from [Disallowed String for - excessive promotion] for the past few years, which is much better than calling cards. Since Google voice is only 3 cents more than [Disallowed String for - excessive promotion], I will definitely give it a try.
