As with most resellers, these carriers are relatively unknown 2nd and 3rd tier providers, not 1st tier name brand companies like ATT, BT, or France Telecom.

However, like most 2nd and 3rd tier carriers, these companies are able to offer phonecards at prices well below the prices of the name brand carriers. In most cases, cards from these types of carriers will be priced 50%-80% off cards from a top brand.

At the same time, the call quality and service levels provided by these types of carriers may be somewhat lower than the rock solid services of a 1st tier carrier. This is especially true for international calling where your call may be routed over all sorts of networks to reach it's final destination.

However, in most cases things will work just fine, but in some cases with certain carriers and/or for certain periods of time, call quality and/or service levels may suffer. Given the dramatically lower prices, we view this a generally acceptable - at least within reason.
