Two neat things about voip commercial services:
1) You can buy a plan that lets you talk unlimited within their system for 
$7.95
2) You can send the box and a US telephone to Japan and she can plug it in to 
any broadband. 
Give it a local number, and all of her friends can call her by dialing her 707 
number; it'll ring anywhere in the world it's plugged in.

Disclaimer: I don't sell these services or own stock in them.
Just a satisfied customer.
