ain't that the truth !

a local malaysian mobile operator has a service called BudgetIDD which 
offers rates much, much cheaper than normal IDD. it works trivially by just 
prepending 131 to the international number you're dialling.

what many of the users of the service dont know is that the international 
leg of the call is carried over VoIP (H.323 to be specific). i usually use 
this as a counterpoint when ppl say that voip is generally not ready for 
primetime.
