I tutor a few students over the phone for a total of 45 minutes per day. I'm not getting much for this so I was wondering how I could cut down on calling costs. Only 1 of 3 has a landline so the other 2 are screwing me over!

Even Skype is a bit expensive when calling phones.

What are my options?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

See if you can get the students to use skype at their end. That way it is free, and you can also do a video chat if you feel like it. I doubt it gets much cheaper than skype for skype to landline/handphone calls.

Not sure which telecom you are using, but each company has some certain extra service that you can choose.

For example, my friend pays 3000 won more every month, and he can make infinite free domestic calls or something like this, I cant really remember.

Ask a Korean friend to help you, good luck.
