VOIP services in India have become legal for quite some time now. Moreover with family and friends staying all over the world reaching out to them is also becoming common. Keeping this in mind I tried to figure out the cheapest possible VOIP service available.
The figures are based on the pricing sheet provided by these service providers on 30th March 2010. The Euro and the Dollar conversion rates into Rupees are also of the same date. Hope this is of some value to my fellow internet users.
