Warning - Do Not Buy An International Phone Card

If you have family members out of the country or travel frequently you more than likely make a large amount of long distance calls, and a good portion of them are more than likely international.

A savvy way to save on those international long distance calls is to use an international calling card. Many calling card providers offer very low long distance pricing which can save you 90% off usual long distance prices.

While many international phone cards can save you money, there is one way they can end up not being cost effective. Adhere to these shopping tips to make sure you get the best possible deals on international long distance. If you do not use these shopping tips, you are guaranteed to fail and not save a thing.

Shopping Tip 1: Always pay attention tothe billing increments that will be charged to your card. If a promoted price per minute is five cents but the increments are charged any more than 1 minute then you can very well pay for minutes you didn't useuse up. This can add up quick for frequent short calls or messages.

Shopping Tip 2: Look for any surcharge fees. A surcharge is a charge that applies to certain calling circumstances such as pay phone call, location of a call, and even just for accessing your calling card number period. Not paying close attention to your calling card surcharges can drain a prepaid card or pile onto a pay as you go card account rapidly and without much warning.

Shopping Tip 3: Find out if there are any monthly fees, yes, even with prepaid calling cards. Many calling card providers will charge a monthly fee for each month the card is or isn't used. There are companies that do not bill any monthly charges and it is these calling card companies that you will want to seek out when shopping for an international calling card along with the criteria set above.

Shopping Tip 4: This is the most important shopping tip of them all, mainly if you travel overseas a lot or if you are acquiring an international calling card for someone in another country. Absolutely pay attention to the call origination numbers. If a card only uses USA access numbers then it will not be cost effective for use outside of the USA. Focus on buying a card with access numbers available in the origin you will be visiting or sending the card to. If you get a card without international origination numbers, you can very well find you won't be able to use the card without paying another source to access the number which is very costly and useless.
