There are a variety of calling cards available to call india from the US,it is getting cheaper by the day.Here are some of the options you can try
Stanacard
Reliance
Airtel
dialsimple
bharatmata
rebtel
There are many others.Always join when there is a scheme.Usually airtel and rebtel have scheme during major Indian festivals which you can take advantage of.There are many vousher codes on the internet for rebtel which give you 60 min free calling.Be careful not to waste these.
Please read ALL terms and conditions before taking even free offers.dialsimple provides 25 min free sometimes.
Stanacard usually has offers when u buy in bulk and is by far the cheapest when you consider the good quality.Airtel and reliance are slightly more expensive.Rebtel too is expensive compared to stana but has a 6 second pulse after the first minute and hence you may actually make up the difference if you make short calls which end after say 90 seconds.
Another option is calling from skype but it will cost you more,but you can do that if you dont have a cell phone or your minutes are used up.
If you can send MAGICJACK or vonage to India it would be really cheap for them to call you(all you need is a broadband connnection)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cell phones options when you come to usa.
most companies bind you in a contract for a cell-connection.The cell phone itself usually comes free or at a nominal cost, but if you want to upgrade you need to make a contract all over again.Students usually go for the family plan options available.try to get a connection which all your friends have as calling within the cell phone provider is free(usually).Nights and weekends are free to any USA number for most providers.
YOUR MINUTES ARE DEDUCTED FOR INCOMING CALL TOO.
at&t seems to be very popular among students in atlanta.The problem is you require a social security number.nights are from 9 pm to 6 am.a family plan of 4 with 1400 minutes currently costs you 130 ie almost $33 each
t mobile is an option where you do not need ssn
verizon has its presence in many places and so does sprint(i think that sprint has 7pm to 7 am as nights,not sure though)
A good option for people who speak a lot to people in India would be MetroPCS as it has unlimited calling +incoming for flat monthly rates.You uaually have to pay around 50 a month depending on your plan.It is a CDMA operator and you need to buy their phone which will cost you around 50-150$.
