With Orange(France Telecom) If you take the live box option for DSL you can then pay a fixed fee for unlimited international calls to fixed lines and about 4 hours to mobiles.

Orange's Fixed fee Voip service in France is far cheaper than Skype.

I'm with Alice (and very nice she is too). We pay €29.99/month for broadband adsl. Free unlimited calls nationally within France, to all of the countries you mention and an hours worth of free calls to mobiles in France too. Not a bad deal, a reasonably reliable service and all in all I'm happy enough not to want to change.

I use Darty, I can make free calls to most countries, and even mobile phones in the States. I have unlimited download capacity for the Internet, and it's much faster than my old BT Broadband. I forget how much it costs, but I'm sure it's not more than 30euros a month.
