Top 12 Calling Card Tips

Buying the right calling card for your individual needs involves weighing a variety of factors. Our list of top calling card tips will help you make the best choice when you buy your next calling card.

  1. Buy 'clean' calling cards - i.e., cards with simple pricing and few, if any, extra fees or surcharges.
  2. Cards with low per minute rates aren't always the best deal because they often have high service fees and surcharges.
  3. Choose a reputable calling card vendor first, and then pick the best phone card to avoid calling card scams.
  4. Buy calling cards online instead of at retail stores so you can verify company credentials.
  5. Buy from vendors that offer advanced dialing features and advanced billing features.
  6. Avoid cards with complicated phone card pricing because it is hard to estimate your actual per minute rate and how many minutes you'll actually get.
