SIP providers, VOIP phones, and Linux

[Alex Kink]

For a very basic setup you can just get a SIP phone or a
SIP adapter (you can check a place like canadianvoipstore.com for ideas)

Then get a VoIP account with a provider who has good international rate
and configure your SIP phone/adapter to use that account.

Ofcourse you can always go with Skype that has great call quality
and great rates.
