Well, eventually I think the carrier's will wise up and determine like they did on cellphone service here in the US and other places that they can make far more money selling to the masses at an affordable rate then selling at a higher rate to the few people who can afford it. This wont happen until people wise up and say that $4 a min to call anywhere is too much money especially when your home company is doing nothing but billing you for it.

The best thing people can do is to create sites like this one to educate the public and for as many people as possible to use work arounds and local sims so the major companies take notice.

If voicestream could be profitable at 29c a minute 8 years ago and the cost of voice calls has definitely dropped then $1-$5 a min is just crazy!
