VoIP provider emerges as alternative to Skype: * Nymgo's VoIP-based calling plans start as low as $0.004 per minute for U.S. calls, $0.013 for calls to India and $0.008for calls to China

When it comes to inexpensive voice, Skype has some competition in the form of Nymgo. Nymgo's plans are all pre-paid and offer calls to both landline and wireless devices. Founded in 2008 and privately held, Nymgo's VoIP-based calling plans start as low as $0.004 per minute for U.S. calls, $0.013 for calls to India and $0.008 for calls to China. By contrast, Skype charges pay-as-you-go rates of $0.021 for U. S. calls and $0.092 per minute for calls to India. Nymgo rates vary based on the country called and are higher when calling a mobile device in countries with "calling party pays" mobile plans.
