I have been looking for a phone card like this for a while now. Something that I am willing to pay a couple of cents extra per minute but has a really good quality. I am tired of having to yell, while talking to my parents back home.
I know, some of friends use other relatively cheaper alternatives like skype and such, but with the dial-up internet connection at my home in Nepal, I don’t think it works out for me.
Something like this was long due, and this Rebtel site lets me call directly from my mobile. The way it works is when you sign up, they ask for your phone number and the number you want to call abroad. And they set you up with a local number that you call, no more 1-800 and entering of pin.
I am trying to avoid sounding like a spokesperson for the company, but they also have a free test call where they let you try this system out for free and you get 20 free minutes.
If you decide to become a paid member, it costs about 20cents a minute (which is a little bit pricey that others – I know), but the quality is really good and have a really good website where you can go and view how much money you have, and add more money if you need to. You can also go under your account history and it tells you exactly who you called and how you used up you minutes. So the next time your mom says, “you haven’t called in a while” you have evidence!!
But the most important part is, it’s a global company, so getting through to Nepal during Dashain or any other festivals isn’t going to be a nightmare!!
Let me know how you like it.

Bohemian Rhapsody:
I want this guy to win and release an album with this version of Bohemian Rhapsody….. and that will be the first CD I will pay full price for (or actually the first one that I will pay for).

Who here rents DVD from McDonald’s redbox. If you do, the promo code that will get you free movie is “NEWBIE”.
Try that, it will save you a buck!! And maybe you should come back to my blogs and click on a few ads!!

I have heard people say this phrase for so many years now, and I have to admit, I didn’t know the history behind it. But not anymore, that all changed when I turned on the TV and just like that - bam!! there was none other than the (then skinnyarse of) Mr. Robert De Niro on his 1976 movie the “Taxi Driver”. Apparently, the phrase is number 10 on AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie Quotes list.
I don’t want to say too much about the movie other than it was pointless. At least when I watched it, it was. Maybe it meant something when it first came out!! The kind of a movie that looks like its going somewhere and all of a sudden everyone dies and the movie is over, and you wonder - WTF?? It just messes up with your head! But I had no choice, I couldn’t turn off the TV after I heard De Niro say “you talkin to me??”. Well, I was bored out of your mind anyway and was willing to watch anything that’s was on. Anything except for I love New York - on VH1 - while we are talking about messing up your head.
Where was I? I guess, the point I am trying to convey is, if you would like to talk to me, send me an email or call me!! But for God’s sake, please don’t go to one of my random posts in the blog and comment on it saying - “how have you been?” If nothing else, please go to my “About Me” page, intuitively labeled as “Me Who” and fill that form out, that way I at least get an email.
I don’t get emails for every comment that gets posted. I think I am passed that stage….
