What are the Different Types of Calling Cards?
There are basically two different types of international calling cards: 1. Prepaid International Calling Cards – These are the most commonly used calling cards. You purchase the card and put a specific balance on it. The minutes are deducted when you make a call, and when you run out of minutes, you just buy another one. 2. International Phone Call Credit Cards – These cards work like credit cards. Most have a PIN number that you enter when you make a call, and it charges minutes to your land line back at home. You then pay the bill later. What Should I Know Before Purchasing a Calling Card? There are a few things you should find out about the international calling card that you want to get before you actually purchase it. Some of them are: • What is the per-minute fee for international phone call credit cards? • Are there different rates and plans? • Does the card work in the country that I am visiting? • Can I get more cards in that country? • Does the card charge a connection fee? •
