What is the cheapest way to call a landline in Mexico, but getting decent sound quality?

I don't mean with a special VOIP phone, which I don't have. I'm also not interested in any kind of recurrent monthly plan.

Either a way to do it with my landline phone (prepaid calling card, dial-around, etc.), or a way to do it with a computer to phone service, such as Skype out.

Has anyone compared international rates of the different services?

I know that with tracfone intrnational calls do not cost any more than airtime which is about a dime a min. there is also magic jack it is 40 for the first year and 20 thereafter europe is only 2 cents a min so mexico should be that or lower. the magicjack gives unlimited long dist to us and canada for no extra money.

I completely agree with you about Tracfone. I just purchased one and have already saved so much money on this months bill. Before I was spending so much money on my calls or plans to Mexico, but then I got Tracfone which which has plans like International Neighbors where you can literally have three numbers in Mexico that you can call Unlimited amounts for no extra money. For someone like me who has family there, it has saved so much money.

You can also purchase a magicjack set it up with a local number, ship it out to where you want to call in Mexico, and as long as they have a high speed internet connection you just call the number you set the magic jack up with and it will be a local call which is free to you. and they will be able to call us numbers for free as well.

I use OneSuite.com services and using their calling card service or VoIP feature will charge you 2.5c per minute to Mexico City. A little more to other cities and areas in Mexico.

It's pay as you go so that means no monthly plans or contract.
