rates for international calling?

Can anyone please post the info location regarding finding international calling rates?

I have exhausted my limited powers to uncover what AT&T wishes to hide so well.

When will ATT&T have better competitive rates compared to alot of other places? .17 cents a minute to Malaysia? Alot of places charges much less. Anywhere from .02 to .05 cents a minute.

AT&T international calling rates are very costly indeed. Several of my family members live abroad, and the cost to call was prohibitive. And the puiblished rates never seemed to match what appeared on my monthly bill.

My solution is to use a discount calling card that can be easily purchased online. Basically, companies buy up excess capacity from major suppliers very inexpensively and pass on the savings. For instance, to call my family members costs .17/minute on AT&T but under .05/minute using a discount card. I buy minutes in $5.00 alottments, which lasts me for quite a while. The downside is that you have to call an access number and then enter a lengthy PIN, which is supplied when you purchase the card. But the savings are definitely worth the trouble.

Put "prepaid phone calling cards" in google to find a list of suppliers. There are many to choose from.

Alot of calling cards aren't beneficial unless you constantly use it. If not, there are hidden maintenance fees, fees apply for every initial call, etc. So far, Vonage seems to be the best deal. $24.95 a month you have all the same features plus more vs ATT's $30 unlimited uvoice. Plus vonage, you can call up to 60 countries free as well. But I cannot make the change due to the incompatibility of my home security system. I will have to address that before I can move on to Vonage.

Another alternative is Yahoo messenging. You can purchase a linksys cordless household phone (CT-310) with yahoo messenger built in. Use this phone to connect to yahoo via your pc and make outgoing calls. Their international rates are cheap. No maintenance fees or per call fees, etc....

Hope the big telecomm companies can make themselves more competitive on the international rates.

I agree, U-verse is too expensive for international calling. Just use a calling card or voip if you intend to call overseas.

That is IF you pay their $5/month value calling plan. I've tried to get on that plan for 7 months, but every month they bill me incorrectly and I pay $3/min for a call that should cost 8c/min. When I call them they refund me the charge, but I don't know why I should have to do that every month. On my final call they switched me to their "occasional calling" plan, which charges $1.5/min! I finally broke down and found a prepaid plan that has no monthly charge, no connection fee and charges 3c/min for the same call. Hey that's 99% savings over AT&T!

Not only that but to get the 17c/min call you need to pay them $5/month! There are prepaid plans out there that charge as you say <5c/min for the same call, with no connection or maintenance fee!
