Best ways to call Iraq

In this article I will try to summarize all the ways that I found to call our families and friends in Iraq from USA:

1. www.lowratevoip.com:
In this site you can make calles with 0.11 euro/min. It is not very cheap, but it is an accurate account (not like some other sites as we will see) and the calls will be from your Phone !! You can also send SMS too. It is available for PC , MAC and Linux.
2. www.wisevoip.com: this costs 8 - 9 cents to call, but works on windows (PC) only.
3.www.callingcardsoutlet.com : from this site you can find the suitable calling cards for you (with less prices), but these cards have a problem in that your balance money is not accurate, so when you buy one and use half of your balance, you may recive an email telling you that your balance is 0.00 !!!!.
4. Google Voice: this site is very usefull in sending FREE SMS to Iraq, but with respect to making calls, it is too expensive.

And finally, if your family or friends have land line, please ask them for that number to call, because it is always cheaper than calling a cell phone, Baghdad land lines especially.

Please if you have any other information, SHARE it with us....
