Cheapest way of calling Myanmar ?
Hi Folks
Done a lot of research but unable to figure out the cheapest way of calling Myanmar from Singapore.
Is it hello card or scratch card or .....
Request help from somebody who knows.
Thanks in advance !

how about you step into 7-11 and ask to see the calling rates of all the calling cards they have? they should have a pricing chart/table for each company you can look at.
then compare it with skype: connection charges (once per call) are: US$0.039 (about 4c US) and then every minute (or part thereof) is SG$0.698 (about 70c Singapore).
boy, those per minute charges are high to myanmar!

i think you should steer clear of the major telcos (singtel/starhub/mobile1). they tend to be slightly more expensive.startofthejourney wrote:hi taxico
thanks for your reply. i did go to 711. he handed me over a singtel world calling card. that gave me a little over 6 minutes for 10 dollars. i lost my voice actually !!
has to be something cheaper. even 30-40 cents would be ok .... i believe less than that is well nigh impossible.
if they don't show you pricing tables, don't hand your money over. bring a long a small calculator if it helps.
i'm not sure if you'll be able to find 30c or 40c per minute calls if even skype charges 70c/min...
at their rates, i think you'll get about a 7-8 minutes for $10. that's pricey... good luck!

No. I'm currently using it. S$ 5 can last to 15mins plus.
Using their online service is more expensive than buying their calling card. Don't know why.
Buy one card and try it out.
BTW I'm not from IDT.

A lot of the other regions have their own calling cards which have very low rates to a specific country or two. For example "ChatChat" is very cheap to Vietnam. I'd go to Peninsula Plaza and see if any of the shops sell a Myanmar-specific calling card.johnybravo wrote:what is the best way to make calls from Singapore to Yangon now?
Otherwise, just check Skype and Google Voice. Google Voice is probably cheaper, but may require you to use a US Credit Card.
