"Koala calling is great."

“Skype works great.”

“Have used Skype for a year - works great!”

“Skype is very effective and 2 cents a minute for 'Skype out' is better than 45 cents a minute from the telephone company. I've had some problems with skype dropping calls but you can also get a US number from Skype that rings into your PC here for about $13 for a three month period.”

“I tried skype for the first time last week and the poor quality of connection made it unintelligible. The phone cards are the way to go. Cards can be purchased in baja and inserted into the payphone or I just got some sweet little scratch cards from the baja travel club people. To call into Mexico the MCI card works good or sign up for the AT&T Intl plan (8 cents per min)”

“I have Vonage so I know nada about Skype.”

“There are internet cafes everywhere, so it is helpful to bring a laptop and use Skype or other P2P programs. There are also many places to make calls for 5 pesos/minute.”
