Any of you international travelers have recommendations on phone cards used from outside the US? I just called MCI (my long distance carrier), and this is what they quoted me for a call from the UK to the US (that call being to a # other than my home):

$4.99 "connection fee"
$2.38 first minute
$1.76 thereafter

Ok, $10.89 for a three minute call from the UK to the US? Are they on crack? Granted, they offer $0.10/min from the UK to your home #, but that's useless to me unless I want to have a conversation with my answering machine.

Any companies out there that don't charge an arm and a leg?

Thanks...
