Thank You guys.
I'm already considering Skype or Gizmo for my contacts that have broadband access.
Can you guys please elaborate more on the "Local calling number", "VoIP handset" and other related things? I don't have much clue as regards those. Who all offer these services here?
Another thing is calling back India to Mom's parents (i.e. Grandparents). My Mom is not too much computer savvy, but I guess she will manage the Skype/Gizmo/Alternative thing somehow. Trouble is that Grandparents don't know anything about computers at all. So I'm guessing either a VoIP handset at their place or the regular Calling card thingie will do best?
What is the best way to call Cell phones in India? Calling card again?

More details please then, Sam because I've heard users facing issues of call drops, clarity lost in compression and all.
Are these issues related to bandwidth? In Canada or any other country in the west, I'm guessing bandwidth isn't the issue. But how much minimum do we need here to make a successful call. (A typical 256 connection gives around 20-25kb download speed, as far as I've seen)
