Long distance calling cards

Is anyone getting a good deal on long distance calling cards? I ask this because I don't have a land line, just two cell phones for my wife and I. We've always used her work's calling card plan for free (They offered this as a perk, since they were only paying 1c/min on international calls ) but now they don't offer it anymore and the regular long distance from a cell plan is ourageously expensive. Hence, I need to find an inexpensive solution to contact friends and family overseas. Anyone have a good tip?

Costco has some calling cards, good rates. They don't have an expiration date like they used to. Make photocopies and save them securely cause the numbers are all you need to make the card work.

Voipstunt is cheaper than Skype, maily because it is free to land lines and to mobile phones in the US, in Canada, and many other countries as well. I use it to call within Japan and from Japan to North America and to Europe. To North-America it is totally free and to the destination I am calling in Europe it is 0.02 euro / minute (mobile is more expensive though 0.18 euro / minute). It used to be free for the last 3 years, now it costs 0.02e/m .
There is a list of the charges on their website. The only trick is that you have to buy credit, 10 euros worth. The website says the credit doesn't expire.

Of course you have to have a computer to call from. I am wondering if it would be possible to connect a Bluetooth enabled phone to the computer and call through that.

Here is some of the small print:

"Max 300 minutes per week of free calls, measured over the last 7 days. Unused free minutes cannot be taken to the following week(s). If limit is exceeded the normal rates apply. With your FREE DAYS you can call for free to all the destinations listed as free! when you have no FREE DAYS left the normal rates apply. You can get extra Freedays by buying credit

Buying credits entitles you to 120 Freedays (unless stated otherwise). This means you can call all countries in the free* destinations list for 120 days at no costs. When the 120 days are over, you will keep your credit, and the normal rate will be charged for these destinations."
