Most calling cards are MUCH cheaper than
making a direct telephone call. It can help you to avoid
outrageous hotel surcharges and hidden fees. Prepaid phone
cards are cheap substitute for collect calls from friends and
family too.
You can use physical cards without having
to worry about having to worry about having correct money. You
can use PIN-based cards from nearly every phone, again without
any need to carry cash. It is also a good way to budget your
phone spending.
Prepaid calling cards can be used from
payphones, hotels, apartments and land-lines.
If you share a phone with your roommates, prepaid calling
cards can eliminate the hassle of figuring out
who-called-what-number each month.
The major cons on using phone cards
relate to their quality. If you use a direct telephone system,
(much more expensive), you can usually get the phone call
connected anytime with good voice quality. For some calling
cards, it may take multiple tries to get a good connection.
This appears to be a drawback for using calling cards.
However, as technology advances and bandwidth increases, you
can find more and more calling cards that offer pretty good
voice quality and pretty easy connection.
