Kidanet was not the first. That would have been UnwiredVoice and then VoicenetIP, then Telecom came with their 052 re-route and discount rates and way late in the game (almost one year later) came kidanet.

Trust me I know..cuz I helped set the first one up from scratch.

  Hey JD
  
  Glad to find you as the rest of the world seems to want to hide the availability of VOIP in Fiji. I spend my time betweenmy home in Fiji and work in Australia. I use skype but yearn for better quality. Who provides VOIP in Fiji nwo adn who would you recommend?
