Cheaper - online prepaid calling cards are really cheaper than collect calls. Faster - instant online PIN delivery. More convenient - wide choice of phone cards in one place, permanent PIN cards with refill option, no bills. When? You can use a calling card at any time. Many people have found that the competition and price-cutting in calling card rates is so fierce that it pays to use them exclusively for any long distance phone calls, including from their home! Others opt to pay a little more so not to be bothered with the long strings of access codes all the time. On the road however, there are times when a calling card is your very best option. Continental Dialing Instructions: 1. Dial Access Number and wait for the prompt. 2. Enter your PIN number and wait for the prompt. 3. Dial your destination number and press the pound (#) key for better connection. Which Card to Buy? Especially stateside, this issue is complicated by the sheer abundance of calling card companies. Our advice: buy from a reputable, well-known company or outlet, or from a vendor you trust. Additionally, you can choose from prepaid or standard (non-prepaid) calling cards.

Overseas, you may find your choices are limited. If you understand the rate system, and it looks reasonable, you're likely okay. In many places, it's worth doing a little comparison shopping. In Russia, for example, you'll want to use phones and buy cards that are run by the city phone network, some private companies charge much more than the government does for using their phones and phone systems. |
