Paraguay Cheap and GOOD Phone calls.
The one thing that always bothered me was the difficulty to find a good calling service to Paraguay, most are VOIP (voice over IP) meaning that the voice goes over the Internet and reach a local phone and the result is a very poor phone connection.
I tried pinzoo, ipsmile and some cards like uni Washington among others, all with very poor connection quality. Yesterday I came across another one called Llama Paraguay and I just tried it and the quality is very good, it has a little bit of eco but it is way superior than the others, and equally cheap.
That would be my best shot to call Paraguay from Abroad, I hope it works for you as well as it did for me! Enjoy =)

While you are in Paraguay, I’d suggest that you try out skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en/ . You will need a decent Internet connection (I use a cable connection that does not qualify as high speed), a microphone and speakers. That’s all. For ten dollars a shot, we can talk for hours with family members in the states.
If they have Internet service, it’s even a better deal.

My wife, two boys and I will travel on May 30th, and will be in the states 5 mos.
I really prefer cooler weatehr, and will miss out. It is cooler today, and Wednesday, it should be even cooler. I will enjoy it. All the Paraguayans will freeze, and I will be comfortable in short sleves. But, for their sake, I’ll wear long sleves so that they don’t think I am completely crazy.
It will be good to see family and friends again.

That is so cool! 5 months, wow!
Enjoy time with your friends and family, I will do the same in the opposite site =)
And…Paraguay never gets too cold, just a few days a year, for me, totally bearable
