Any international card should work.  I know in Iraq AT&T had the contract on Marine bases and maybe military wide, so you got the best rates through them.  If he has access to a DSN line, he can call any base in the US and have them dial everything, then he's charged domestic rates.  If you have access to a base Exchange the AT&T cards with Abe Lincoln on them are the best buy.  And a hint, instead of mailing the card, since mail is so slow, give him the numbers to the card next time he calls.

Yes, there are various methods for doing so. The best answer I can give is to search the internet and find the best solution for what you're looking for. Broadband phone is fairly cheap or callwave.com (I think) has a program you put on your computer to answer calls.

BroadVoice\n\nI kicked out SBC over a year ago and am now using BroadVoice as my only phone! I pay $9.99 a month for Unlimited In-State calling. The rest of the US is something like 4 cents a minute. What I really got it for was for International. I call Japan for 3 cents a minute... Can't beat that. There is a onetime setup fee of $39.95.

Yes - just ask at supermarkets.   All phonecards only work in the country you buy them in, but you can use them to ring other countries.

You can look for Voip (voice over internet protocal)\n\nYou can use skype type services to make cheap phone calls worldover. \n\nThe best of all is Internet esp if you are targeting globe. Challange is how to do you reach to the customers and this requires some research and professional help.

I personally use BroadVoice as my only phone! It's not free. I pay $9.99 a month for Unlimited In-State calling. The rest of the US is something like 4 cents a minute. What I really got it for was for International. I call Japan for 3 cents a minute... Can't beat that. There is a onetime setup fee of $39.95. \n\nSource(s):\n\nBroadVoice\nhttp://www.broadvoice.com

One time I let my friend call his Mom in Cuba and they didn't talk for that long.  When I got the phone bill it was $700+.  Yes, Yahoo answers is free...and fun.\n  Is that what you meant about the phone costs?
