Us to India long distance

What's a good US to India long distance service. I currently have AT&T AnyHour Int'l Svgs Plan (not my lingo, copied directly off the bill)

I can set up a program or buy cards, what do ya'll think would be the cheapest phone service to start making some enquiries

Thanks

the cards used to work great for me, but they seem to have too many hidden fees that can eat up minutes. if ever i call india i use reliance. you access it with a toll-free number from a phone number that you have regitered with them. simple to use and good clear sound.

A lot of my friends have been talking about Google Talk, which let's you talk for free over the Internet. The voice quality is pretty good, too.
