| It was my settings, the input volume control. Everything works fine now including calls in Korea. |

be aware that it's a considerable difference when you see your bill AFTER making calls to cell phones in Korea. Not really a good idea. But US cell phone prices are the same as landline phones and the same clarity. Also, the quality to cell phones in Korea is really bad; people don't hear everything you say. It seems that the sound completely cuts out after every word you say. I called two people and one didn't recognize me. I also didn't hear anything when they spoke after the first sentence. So they spoke while I never heard a thing. I called my cell to see what was happening and my voice sounded like another person's. I also noticed that when I spoke in a normal voice range from the cell to Skype, I couldn't hear anything. You have to speak really loud into the mouthpiece, otherwise it's a waste of minutes and you don't know that the other person can't hear you. Reminds me of the days when walkie talkies were popular in the 70s. You could barely make out what the other person said. The same with this service to cell phones in Korea. Very lousy and a waste of time.

I always used A+ last year when i was calling internationally from a cell phone. It worked, but there was a significant price difference. If I remember correctly the card was 13,000 won and would give about 3 and a half hours to a US landline phone. From a cell it was less than 2 hours. |

That was an old post. I don't use that or any other card anymore because it's much less than the price of A+ with Skype when calling the US for example: about 22 won per minute vs 72 won per minute. And that includes both landline and cell. You're much better off with Skype unless you need to make calls outside of your room. But with a laptop and Nespot, you can make calls in Netspot zones or hot spots. The downside is that you have to pay 3,000 won per hour or 12,000 won per day for Nespot service. Or whatever monthly or yearly plan you choose. And I guess carrying around a laptop to make calls might seem kind of silly. |

Oh yeah I'm a dumbass. Saw March 10 and assumed it was 2005. |
