More options, mobile, phone or desktop

Raketu offers me the most flexibility - I can use my computer like Skype for free calls and videocalls, my mobile like Jajah,or any ip-Phone or ATA like MagicJack, all from a single account. So I can use my PC or ip-Phone when at home, my mobile when out, and even make calls from any web-browser on a friends computer or a cafe. And, here's the best part, it's cheaper than the rest.

As a VoIP user I would first see the customer service of any service provider, because in the beginning when I started using VoIP for the first time I encountered with some service provider who do not have good customer support rather I should say NO customer support. In the beginning I use to select the services which use to offer the less calling rates but after experience I can say that less calling rates plus a good customer support is necessary if a service provider wants to retain its customers. These days I am using www.vopium.com which is a new mobile VoIP and it has both good customer support and also cheaper calling rates.
