I was amazed to find out that it's now possible to call 20 countries for FREE!
Well, it's not actually free since there is a €9.99 monthly fee, but this cost includes free calls within Ireland, cheap calls to mobile phones and discounts to even more nations.
For those of you with a land line (as opposed to exclusively working from a mobile phone) this is one of the great deals of the modern world.
Free Calls:Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and USA.
8 Cents a minute:China, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary and Poland

You Can Do It!
My
wife and I schemed for fourteen years before we made the big
move. We thought we knew what we were doing.
But,
it turned out we knew diddly about building a house the Irish
way (19 months!). Or the huge expense of baby aspirin. Or
how we could have saved hundreds on car insurance if we'd
brought a key document.
We
wondered about bringing over a left hand drive car but didn't
know if it could be insured. We didn't know about the universal
child benefit payments. I wasn't aware of the Irish medical
system, work permits, residency permits.... You get the idea.
Even though my wife was born and raised in Ireland, we weren't
sure about a lot of things. That's why I put up this site.
It began as a hobby but it grew to tens of thousands of words.
Updates began to consume an ever larger share of my life and
I finally had to put a cost to it.
You
can judge from the freely available material the benefits
of this site to you. I constantly receive thanks from people
for the information provided. I think it's worth the charge.
The information here will save you many, many times that amount
of money and hassle. You get the benefit of the research for hundreds of folks who have come here before you. And, if there's something not covered, an email from a subscriber gets a personal answer. Your
individual questions hopefully get answered.
Your
credit card info is safe because I use the highly regarded
firm of Kagi to process transactions. If you're not satisfied, I will refund
your money. (I've had to do this six times which is not bad for
thousands of subscribers.) I run a VAT registered Irish company
which is subject to strict accounting regulations - for whatever
that's worth these days.
I
held the $30 price from 1997 to 2005. But, the incredible shrinking
dollar finally forced my hand. The price has now risen to $45. However, this site really will save you time, hassle and yes - money.
