Which VoIP service has the lowest international rates?

We took a sampling of per-minute rates to 9 commonly called countries. This will be useful to those who want to choose a domestic plan, but plan to occasionally call internationally. We chose either the basic rate to the country, or the best-known city, depending on how the provider lists them. We totaled the costs per provider to gauge which has the cheapest overall prices. Of course, we encourage you to check each service's website to see the rates for the countries and cities you call the most.
