Seem to be great rates introduced by Ufone, but i think most people utilize the free software’s of VOIP such as Skype for making long distance calls.
yeah, VOIP is very useful but its sometime difficult to find WIFI, hot spot or broadband while traveling. I was in NY last summer and traveled almost 1500 KMs acorss USA. in such traveling you can’t remain connected unless you have US SIM. I wish i had such Ufone rate at that time so i could have used my own Ufone SIM. its nothing compared to even US rates.
