PREPAID PHONE CALLING CARDS latest
updates ,
Like almost any products or services these days you can easily
purchase discounted prepaid calling cards to make long distance and
international calls on the Internet. With so many companies to choose
from as well as deciding which calling card is the cheapest and most
reliable can be a real pain - especially for those who are first time
buyers. Here you will find simple tips on choosing the right company as
well as names of several well established phone card companies on the
Internet.
Before you even think about purchasing a calling card
you should first do a bit of simple planning and ask yourself a few
questions:
- Will you be calling a cell phone or land line?
If
you look closely at any calling card's details you should see that
there are separate rates for calling a mobile phone and land line.
Calling a mobile line especially if it is an international number will
always cost much more. The lowest call per minute rate you see always
applies to calling a land line. So if you know you will be calling a
mobile number it is best to look for a calling card that is designed
specifically for such calls and you will find that the rates will be
much more reasonable.
- How long and often will you be making your calls?
Most
phone cards have odd extra fees such as connection fees and
disconnection fees. But if you look closely you will find that cards
with fees offer the lowest call per minute rates. And most will continue
to subtract credit after first use on a weekly basis - even when you
are not using it. While cards with slightly higher call per minute rates
have absolutely no fees at all.
So which phone card do you
choose? Here is the strategy. If you know for sure you will be talking
for quite awhile then I suggest getting a card with fees. Why? Well the
fees are applied when you either connect with the line or hang up and
end your call. So if you burn off all of your minutes in one sitting
than you will have avoided getting burned by the fees.
And if you
know you just need a card laying around to make leisure calls then I
suggest purchasing one that has no fees at all. These cards are still
way more affordable compared to your land line rates.
There are
many prepaid phone card companies on the Internet and I recommend
companies that offer consumers trial minutes and even some sort of
guarantee.
Cloncom, Speedy Pin and Nobelcom are such phone card
companies that have been in the industry for quite some time and have a
well established reputation.
For a company offering monthly discounted rate plans take a look at Free Call Planet.
Those
companies are absolutely worth looking into and it's best to check out
each of their individual plans for calling the country of your choice.
