One of the real frustrations in Mexico is the phone system - you need a separate three number code for cellular calls and you also need a city code. I have never been able to master it. At the same time, costs for US users are high. Even with a discounted rate the costs can be 60¢ per minute to the US.
But here comes my Ooma which I mentioned in an earlier post. This afternoon, I set up my Ooma mobile APP (about $10 on the APP store). I then tried to make a call over my WIFI network in the house. Cost for three phone calls of about 10 minutes each - $0. The voice quality is outstanding - better than Skype. The system also works on 3G but the usual call costs apply.
As I said in the earlier post on Ooma - this device is simple to set up. What was more interesting is that I asked one family member to call me on our home number - it rang on my cellular phone. I am a techie but this device blows me away.
