In the Netherlands, we still pay for each phone call made (also local calls). But times are shifting and calling actually now gets cheaper.

For a while I have been using Bel1649 for domestic calls. They don't charge you per minute, but a flat rate of €0,05 per call. Nice when my entire family needs tech support.

Recently, my fiancee moved back to Indonesia for two weeks and of course I had to find a cheap way of calling there. The regular phone company charges €0,6844 per minute, which makes roughly 40 euro per hour.

After some searching, I found De Belknaller Instead of paying 68 cents per minute, they can offer you connection for €0,01 ! That would be 60 cents per hour. So I had to try it, and fair enough, within seconds I had a crispy clear line.

Why is this so much cheaper than the "regular" way of calling? Somewhere someone must be making a fortune on this stuff...
