Guys....sorry...but I have to come to the same question one more time.....WHAT IS THE GOOD CALLING CARD FOR NEPAL TO CALL FROM U.S.?.....I bought some stupid card for $3.50 for a $5.00 card. When I called Nepal, it said it has 31 minutes.....and.....yeah same story.....it did not give me more than 12 minutes.....c'mon.....that is sad...I was so mad and I called the customer service and it told me to leave me the messsage only to find out that the mail box was full (go figure).......so please guys help this Nepali brother not to get frustation anymore by suggesting some good phone cards...............

Adios...

Ram Prasad, after trying all sorts of phone cards cards, I've settled with Himtel for the last few months. Their Kathmandu Connect card for $5 has always given me half an hour of talk time. But it only works inside Kathmandu. For calls outside Kathmandu, I've used their Clean Card, which costs $10 and gives 26 minutes of talk time.

Btw, I'm not related to Himtel but have been impressed by their curteous and prompt customer service.

I have been using skype (http://www.skype.com) to make PC-to-Phone and PC-to-PC calls to Nepal. In order to call to phone numbers,you have to purchase their SkypeOut credit. They charge in euros, but for equivalent of US $10, you can call for 59 minutes to inside KTM and 36 minutes to outside KTM and cell phones. They have 1 minute rounding, and charge VAT for EU residents. You can see their rates at https://secure.skype.com/store/help.pricelist.html

Beau,
Probably you don't know me because I am neither from VSNIKETAN nor Mahakali Aunchal.

By the way, I am sorry to request you all to disregard my above post, as the skype service now seems to have increased the rates just after I posted here. It is no longer cheaper.

I got sick n tired of all phone cards and finally settled down with Nickletalk.com.
.35/mo to nepal and .05 to most of the developed countries. From your home or cell phone any time of the day. Direct dial and monthly or credit card billing.
No more lost minutes, no more connection problem, no more trips to the stores, no more waisting time online searching for mo' beta ones.
Overall, I am happy so far.
It is really sofaking cool.
