      So what's the catch here?

      I have found this site, along with many others which offer cheap international calls: http://www.planet-numbers.co.uk/phone_slovakia.jsp

      Basically they say you just call a number they give you, then when you get through dial the number who you want to speak to. Now these calls are stupid cheap, I cannot find a catch on the site, wondered if anyone know anything about these companies and if this is legitimate?

      Thanks

      VoIP ?

      call the number, and connect to a machine
      punch in the international number, machine reads tones
      VoIP call over internet to machine in destination country
      local call from foreign machine to desired number

      just off the top of my head...

      catch?
      no direct connection
      greater chance of disconnection (more hops, more to go wrong)
      possible to eavesdrop on calls

      I used a couple of these all last year to call a few countries.

      No issues.
