How do you select the phone card that is right for you?

There are typically two types of prepaid phone cards: (1) Phone card with surcharges (95% of all cards), and (2 )specialty cards that have no surcharges. To decide on which cards are best for you, simply determine the average duration your phone calls, and the locations you typically call.

Let's consider the two basic cards:

No Surcharge Cards: These cards do not have as many minutes, but you get every minute you pay for. These are for SHORT calls, usually 15 minutes or less. But, you need to calculate the cost before you buy the card to see if this card is best for you.

Surcharge Cards: There is a small connection fee on these cards EVERY TIME YOU CALL! The good part is that the cost per minute is less. On the prepaid World Plus card, for example, the cost per minute is 2¢ per minute. On the No Surcharge Card they would cost you about 6.5 cents per minute. You can see where the longer calls could add up to big savings with this card.

How do you save?

You will see that using a phone card for your long distance calls is cheaper than using your home phone! How? The overall calling rates on prepaid phone cards are lower.

For instance, major phone companies are offering calls to anywhere in the United States for 20 minutes for 99¢ and only 7¢ a minute after that. If you were to do the math, you will see that their rate is expensive!

However, with the prepaid Penny Power card, that same 20 minute call is only 69¢! What's even better is that after your 20 minutes you are only paying 1¢ a minute for the rest of the time you are on the phone.

In addition, by becoming a member of the Phone Card Club, you can earn FREE phone cards which could add up to huge savings!

So experience the benefits of using prepaid phone cards anywhere in the world, and no matter what country you are calling, you will be saving money!
