Reliable and free, but 5 minutes limit per call. Call again if you need to talk more. You need to spend less than a minute (for 5 minute call) to register and get connected. Best for everyday but short talks. Quality is great, they also offer prepaid service, but that's really expensive. So, just "try" it several times with 5 minutes free calls.
Looks like too many steps, but after you get used to, it takes less than a minute! Enjoy!
Steps:
1. Go to http://www.rebtel.com/ and click "try for free"
2. Enter RANDOM name, RANDOM email and everything (Note, it should look valid, like a@b.c works for email, and 2345678901 works for phone #
3. Add contact (the # in Nepal you wish to call)
4. Do NOT close that window (you entered random info, you won't remember how to log in again!).
5. Open skype, click "don't have skype name"
6. Register with RANDOM name, RANDOM email and everything (you will be signed in)
7. Go back to rebtel window, below the contact you just added, there will be "landline in Nepal" or "mobile in Nepal", click that.
8.After clicking it, it shows "call from computer" and "send webSMS"
9. Click "call from computer"
10. It will ask for your skype name (ID), enter it
11. It will show "connect call to", click it.
12. Skype will start, you will hear other side ringing.
Caution: I used my home number several times continuously few months ago, and Rebtel no more adds that number as contact, I can't call my home but other numbers work fine. Last time I tested was around March 2-4.
For first time users, you can use your cell number instead of random phone #, and you can still make a 5 minute call (or several calls totaling 5 minutes, rebtel has second rounding). You don't need to call using skype in this way.
