Why Use An International Phone Card?
An international phone card can be used to keep in touch with people all over the globe at a fairly low guaranteed per minute rate. International phone cards can be purchased at gas stations, grocery stores, department stores and online. Online retailers offer the greatest variety in terms of international cards. You can purchase a general international card with a flat international rate, or you can purchase a card specifically for the country you will be calling. If you have family or friends in one specific country, it is probably best to purchase a card specifically for the country, as you can typically get the best rate that way. You can use your international phone card from any phone, including a pay phone, but card companies typically charge fees for pay phone calls. You should check with the phone card provider for details regarding specific fees assessed for pay phone calls. International phone cards usually offer cheaper rates than regular monthly long distance plans offer.
