Just to let you know that you can get free phone through your internet connection. It's called Skype. Just download from www.skype.com, choose a username, and you are connected! It's free. Especially interesting for the players who have laptop, as they can talk with their family back home...
I've been using it on my travels, and the phone bill has been considerably reduced... THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Just tried it out and it seems to be working. Good stuff
