GOOD calling cards
- Thread starter Cobster
- Start date
I use one called "Calling Card" I found it to be the best available. 1c a minute to UK and China. The $5.00 card is green and most places carry them.
I find that CiCi phone cards are good for not using time too quickly. However there are other cards that can probably give you more minutes depending on where you call. But there were times that I used CiCi cards like a couple of months after they were initially activated and it only lost like 50 cents at the most.
Take a look at Ontario Phone Cards. Choose your home and destination and they will give you a list of the best cards (including user reviews/ratings) and highlight any hidden fees. I use First Choice for international calls, good rates and no hidden fees.
If your calls are made to the US and Canada check out the Magic Jack at magicjack.com
I have had it a couple of months now and it works great.

fear and distrust..........I was skeptical but I figured what the hell for 40 bucks it was worth a try. Glad I did.

Yes, I agree. It's a neat little product, if you have a land line. A lot of folks have eliminated their land line for cell phone only.
The ad doesn't say if it will work with a phone in a hotel room, for example. And I don't see how it will work with a pay phone. Both of which WILL work with a calling card.

You need a computer and a high speed connection.

You wouldn't get scammed out of your minutes and would only be charged when you actually talked after the connection was made.
Anyone know of any good ones out there?
If you have access to a computer and the Internet rather use Skype. Their feature Skype Out provides access to regular phone lines which negates the need for calling cards. Skype by default has free skype to skype PC calls and sometime may have skype in numbers available in Canada to receive calls from regular phones as if you have a phone line, on your PC.
With Skype Out unlimited North American calling is about 30 bucks a year and Europe and other major countries about 2c/min if memory serves me correctly. Its all on their website.
I stopped using calling cards about 3yrs ago and swear by Skype. Its cheaper , better and easier. The only minus is you need a PC and Internet connection bit it now supports wifi phones. It does also throw out odd caller ID's so people won't know who the hell is calling when you call sometimes but hey it works.
As soon as we have the same types of plans as the US for long distance (e.g. Cingular Unlimited) I would say whats left of the calling card industry will be toast.
