Howdy all,
well I'm back out in Brazil for another 4 weeks stuck on this rig.
The main company's IT policy is very strict and as a result all VOIP and IM services are blocked (and most of the photos in the vwaudiforum threads hosted by the likes of photobucket ).
Telephone access for us gringos is quite scarce because they use scratch cards which they only get in the shop once a week and they sell out within hours and they hold back for the locals anyway.

I was looking at using the international call carriers such as Alpha Telecom and wondered if anyone had any experince with them or could recommend another provider.

The company will be paying anyway so cost isn't really an issue but good service is.

Cheers.
