How to make cheap calls to india via Index system

[unslog]

Hi
We have Avaya digital system, and want to make cheap calls to one remote worker in india.

Currently we are tied into a BT contract, and their international call rates are expensive. We have tried using skype to skype, and noticed the call quality is poor due to remote end broadband.

Does anyone have any suggestion how we can route calls to the remote user using a different provider with cheap call rates to india? I'm sure there are more cost effective ways of making calls overseas

Anyone have any experience with this.

Suggestions welcome.
thanks

Be very careful - Indian telecom regulations forbid toll bypass i.e. your remote worker calling to UK numbers via your trunks.

You are allowed to make internal calls - that is between users on your site and the Indian user.

Take Care

I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.

LOL - We have a customer with Indian VPN phones doing exactly that! Not my problem I guess ;-)

If skype is poor quality/pants due to the remote users broadband then a remote/VPN phone isn't going to be any better

not true andy

I find skype is just so contended on skypes own network that a single VPN phone on an 8K call will work much better.
