I just saw this deal on SL. YupeePhone.com is offering unlimited calls to India for $19.95/- per month.
Here is what the site says

YupeePhone.com said:YupeePhone works like the traditional phone, with few distinct differences :
# Rates are lower and in our Monthly Unlimited plan you can make UNLIMITED calls to over 60 destinations worldwide, with no extra charge.
# No hidden charges! You will never receive a bill from us. Our services are prepaid.
# No contract required!

Here are the rates

Thanks

Anybody try them out yet? Could not find any reviews on the web.

Apparently, the unlimited calling for $19.95 a month requires one of the following
1. Purchase a VOIP adapter from them for about $75 (includes first month's charges) - this requires a high-speed internet connection.
2. Dial a local access number and then punch in the destination phone.

Option 2 requires an additional $3.99 a month [link

well this is great,i dont no why people are not intrested here as like at SD.this is really great

and i just called to their CC and i came to know something intresting,its like Dish Network ,if you sign up with unlimited plan(without internet) is 19.95 for 1st month,then 19.95+3.99(for local access number),

now intresting part is that you can share yr phone and password to yr family and friend so they can call from their phone,so u can share that 19.95+3.99 dollor between them.if you share between 5 people its like 5 dollor per head for unlimited calls to 60 countries. DID I SAY INDIA IS NOT INCLUDED???

come on people,,,, what you think???

way too expensive and sometimes choppy (due to india's infrastructure)

I already get unlimited calls to India whenever I need customer support.

lol'd so hard

So funny, so true!

*Note: This is not a racist comment, just agreeing that many companies outsource their tech support positions to individuals residing in India; can't argue with that.

I have been using Skype from last year and 4 months and it is ok though not as good as regular but who can beat the unlimited value. Skype was choppy when internet was not stable in India but now a days even my Asterisk rocks. Very Clear.

I think it's an ATA adapter for $75 that you have to get with the service. i'm not sure if you have to get the adaptor or can you just use a soft phone to make calls?

i was looking at a company called VoiceStick.com, they looked the same but i think you can just use a sonft phone and don't have to buy anything.

If any one knows more please let me know.

I signed up and paid for unlimited plan. Even after 2 days, it says I have 0 balance. I tried to call local access numbers & those are busy or non-working. I do not see a link to purchase a personal local access number ($3.99 a month) but there is a suggestion to buy one for better access (??????). When I tried to call their customer service, it went to a message box which is full. I sent an email but my problem is not clearly resolved. It seems impossible to contact them.

I am sure that I will get frustrated soon with this kind of system. I should have waited and see to verify experiences before.
