Hey Jake,

I'm not immediately aware of a VoIP provider who could offer unlimited
calling to landline phones as part of a monthly plan with Ekiga. But
I'm also kind of new to this, so maybe someone can correct me. What I
do know is that Diamond (http://tinyurl.com/dx2bs9), a recommended
provider for Ekiga, offers better pay-as-you-go rates to the US than
SkypeOut. Compare Diamond's $0.016 with SkypeOut's $0.024 after the
value added tax (http://tinyurl.com/cysfq7).

Cheers,
Evan
