assuming 
that the sound quality is good enough, etc, etc...
it really does seem like a good deal. i think i'll signup and give it a go! i already have a laptop/computer, Broadband internet and headset and that's really all that is required.
no need for a monthly plan, especially since the DR is NOT included in their "free" LD calls...but a lot of other places are. one of the plans may be better if you do a lot of overseas calls to places that they do not charge for though.
for me using the
"next2nothing" pay-as-you-go plan would seem the best.
$0.02 cents/minute to anywhere in the,
i'm guessing continental, USA and Canada
$0.105 c/m to a DR cell phone
$0.0426 c/m to a DR landline
the basic prepaid monthly plan is $19.99
the LD rates to the DR, to a cell phone, are about $0.02 c/m cheaper and calls to N/A are "free"
"Ultimate USA & Canada Plan"
$0.0855 c/m to a DR cell
$0.0355 to a DR landline
still since the cheapest monthly plan is $19.99 AND you still have to pay for the DR regardless; unless you normally call long distance in North America and/or the DR for at least 1000 minutes combined it's better to pay-as-you-go.
also, for the Canadians, the "real number" that you get assigned seems to be either in the USA or United Kingdom with no apparent option for a number in Canada...which might not be the perfect solution as anyone calling you from Canada would have to pay LD charges...but that's their problem
i'll post about how good/bad i find it to be once i've had a chance to use it for a bit.
