International Calling Cards - If you want to make some international calls but don’t want to pay the rates your phone company may charge you, you can buy international calling cards for this purpose. There are many great advantages to making your international calls this way, and saving money is just one of them. They are also great for travel, but you shouldn’t stock up before you leave your own country for a very good reason.
The per minute price on international calling cards may be far less expensive than what your phone company may charge you. If you look through the front of your phone book, you will see what it will cost you to call wherever it is you need to call. Some countries have rates so high you can’t imagine anyone calling there. If you go out and find international calling cards you will most likely find that they price per minute is a lot cheaper than your phone provider. Watch out for hidden connection fees and the like, however, as this may eat up your savings.
Even if you get international calling cards that have the same rate as your home phone service, you may still be doing yourself a favor. When you make a call on your home phone, you are running up your bill. If you buy an international calling card, you have already paid for the call and you don’t have to worry about a high bill. Along the same lines, you don’t have to worry about running up the time by talking longer than you intended. When you buy time on a card, the call will end when the time is up whether you are done talking or not. This may force you to keep an eye on the clock and to wrap up the call before you are cut off.
If you travel, international calling cards may be the cheapest and best way to keep in touch with your loved ones at home. Don’t make the mistake two of my friends traveling to Australia made, however. They bought a bunch of calling cards in the US before they left, and found that they didn’t work once they go to Australia. If you want to use international calling cards when traveling abroad, make sure you wait until you have reached your destination before you purchase your cards. If you do that, you can be sure they will work when the time comes to call home.
