In my expirience better price/quality to Estonian mobile can be found via Skype, reasons:
1. Good quality (they have direct conection to Estonia) - success rate is perfect, unlike other voip providers who sometimes offer worster succes rate.
2. Estonia Mobile just € 0.23 excl vat - normal price for me.

unfortunately I can not say anything about qulity to +423 ( I never call to these numbers via Skype ) and rate to +423 via Skype is huge too: Liechtenstein Mobile € 0.40 excl vat

Business users who travel and need to be in ready contact by home, office and clients need to be easily reachable - preferably via local number. If thet use an intl card that doesn't provide local numbers, then a workaround can be a forwarding service. Voicestick.com works well and their rates are reasonable. Most businesses, tho, would opt to simply forward the traveler's home based phone line.
Does Skype allow for forwarding to intl. numbers - assuming you have a balance in your acct.? Does Skype provide non-U.S. numbers?
