Is it cheaper to use Skype rather than phone cards when making international long distance calls?

I live in Canada and I make frequent phone calls to Asia and Europe. I have been using phone cards (or calling cards, such as CiCi, Asia Direct and Top) which I bought from a local convenience store. I recently learned about this software called Skype, which can make phone calls to landline phones. However, it seems that if I want to make international phone calls with it, I need to buy "credits". I am wondering which way will be cheaper for me -- using Skype or phone cards?





Thanks a lot.

Reply:yes its cheaper it's a lot cheaper but you don't get a lot features. I recommend that you use vonage you get caller ID and a lot of other things plus it's free calls to Europe and only 24 for local and long distance calls..............here is a link to their web site

Reply:I am in Canada and make many calls to Asia also. I use calling card. I buy it online for more than 2 years. Very convenient. I can also transfer balance from one card to another card.
