Hi there Mish!

I got a VOIP line at www.terrasip.com and pay 35 dollars every 6 months for a Buenos Aires land line incoming number, plus only 1 cent per minute to almost every destination in the world.

If you buy a PAP2 addapter at www.mercadolibre.com , you can connect a regular wireless phone. The service is good and cheap. The catch: you need an internet connection.

I don't know telecentro, but they give you cable, high speed internet and a phone line for something in the range of 130 pesos per month, which is a great deal!

Take care.

I would not go Telmex...we have them and it's a hassle!! The don't show you any calls you made or the numbers you called just an amount! We have tried and tried to contact them impossible! We now use the local calling cards...10 pesos for over about 80 minutes worth of calls...and no charges on Telmex! You can get them at any Kiosko...they also come in 20 peso too.

I have heard good things about Skype but haven't taken the leap...
