If anything good can come out from being in a long distance relationship, it has inevitably make us experts of cheap calling cards! Reliable and inexpensive international calling cards help us to keep in touch constantly and communication across the oceans less burdensome financially.
We started with those prepaid calling cards that can be bought at the gas stations, and depends on luck to get one that works fine without screaming our heads off trying to talk across bad connections. Then, we tried the ones sold online, and we have a mixed bag of experience from lousy to good services.
Currently, we mostly used services that provide IP calls as they are the most inexpensive and there is no equipment to purchase, just easy billing and management with amazing bundled savings. We did recently find out about another global brand of virtual calling cards called Pingo. The prices are quite competitive, we may just want to try out the services once we finish the credit we have with our current service provider.
When you look for international calling cards, you have to make sure there is NO hidden fees. Some service providers may charge a lower per minute fee, but the extra charges like per connection fee can come out to be quite a bit. We usually don’t buy any calling plan that charges a connection fee, as it’s not always easy for us to get each other on the phone at first attempt.
