Cardbazar.com online
Collect calls, credit card calls, third-party calls -
history. The easiest, simplest, and cheapest way to make international calls
while on the road is by using a phone cards online from www.cardbazar.com.
Why?
- No more pumping unfamiliar coins into a machine - Eliminate or reduce exorbitant hotel surcharges - No more collect, operator-assisted, and third-party hassles and surcharges - Less expensive - You know what you're paying - often just picking up a receiver can patch you
to a price-gouging reseller.
When?
You can use a calling card at any time. Many people have found that the
competition and price-cutting in calling card rates is so fierce that it pays to
use them exclusively for any long distance phone calls, including from their
home! Others opt to pay a little more so not to be bothered with the long
strings of access codes all the time. On the road however, there are times when
a calling card is your very best option.
During Hotel Stays
In Costa Rica, for example, a local call from a pay phone or using a phone card
could cost you up to 20 times more from your resort hotel. A recent visitor to
Orlando made three brief calls to her home in New Jersey from her hotel room
without using a calling card. Cost: $65! Most hotels apply exorbitant surcharges to both local and toll calls. In the
case of local calls, they usually charge a flat fee for each call; for toll
calls, they often charge a percentage of the cost of the call.
When Traveling Internationally
A pass through the guidebooks answers this question unanimously. The vagaries of
long distance billing here at home are complicated enough; add to this
government vs. free market issues, language barriers, unfamiliar currency,
extreme variance in communications infrastructure, and plain old ease of use,
and the calling card or international calling plan is almost a must-have when
traveling internationally.
When Traveling Domestically
Even in the United States, using your credit card at a pay phone can be risky
business. Many long distance resellers pay for the right to service public
phones, then charge exorbitant surcharges that you might easily know nothing
about at the time you place your call.
Which Type Card?
Prepaid cards are usually for a set amount or number of minutes: $20 worth of
calls, or 100 minutes. In these cases, you either swipe the card or punch in an
access code and the card is valid until your money or time runs out. In some locations, you'll find multiple card types - one that can be swiped, and
others with dialing codes. Standard, or non-prepaid cards are billed to a credit card or your calling card
account, and require a PIN number. There can be slightly greater risk when using
these cards: if someone swipes your PIN number, they can use your card at will
without limit until you discover the number has been stolen. Standard cards are usually available from your telephone company, or come with
your long distance service.
Swipe cards
The upside of using these cards is time saved; no need to enter a string of
dozens of numbers every time you make a call. The downside is that they often
can't be used on all phones but only on those phones serviced by a specific
phone company. If you are going to be in one place for a while, or using a
specific phone, these work well and save you time.
Dialing Codes
In almost all cases, I buy only dial-code cards; they are more versatile, and I
don't have to go scrounging around for a telephone that accepts my swipe card.
Which Card to Buy?
Especially stateside, this issue is complicated by the sheer abundance of
calling card companies. Our advice: buy from a reputable, well-known company or
outlet, or from a vendor you trust. Additionally, you can choose from prepaid or
standard (non-prepaid) calling cards. It's worth some investigation: take a look at www.webstel.com or
www.call-and-talk.com for a neat comparison application. Be advised that these
folks are in the business of selling phone cards, so let the buyer beware. Overseas, you may find your choices are limited. If you understand the rate
system, and it looks reasonable, you're likely okay. In many places, it's worth
doing a little comparison shopping. In Russia, for example, you'll want to use phones and buy cards that are run by
the city phone network, some private companies charge much more than the
government does for using their phones and phone systems. For cards that can be used internationally, visit www.webstel.com and
www.call-and-talk.com
Pre-Paid Wireless Cards
Pre-paid wireless phone cards have certain popularity. There are cell phone
plans that give you the ability to make international calls from countries all
over the world. If you are in the market for a cell phone, visit
www.call-and-talk.com/prepaid-wireless/ to compare rates in your area and find
out about other charges, such as activation fees and the cost of the phone. Be
aware that most US phones will not work overseas because the signals are carried
on different networks.
On the Internet
There are literally thousands of calling card offers on the Web. One that looks
interesting and offers abundant freedom of choice, is http://www.cardbazar.com/
The Big Guys
Typically, the large telephone corporations charge similar rates; their prepaid
cards usually come in substantially cheaper than their standard calling card
rates. However, many calling card offers beat the big guys by quite a bit on
price. Shop around!
Keeping Time
Most reputable card companies will tell you how much you have used at the
beginning and end of each call, and many phones will count down the remaining
time on your card on a digital clock on the phone itself.
Free Calling Cards
Credit card companies, phone companies, football teams, airlines, hotels, Web
sites, you name it; all have offered free calling cards to customers at some
point. Keep your eyes open for these deals.
Where to Buy Phone Cards
Many phone cards can be found in airport dispensing machines, which often take
only cash, so you may need some local currency first. Also, convenience stores, newsstands, and small local shops in or near train
stations, airports, or a bank of phones often carry phone cards. In Spain, for
example, you'll find them in tobacco shops; in America, at food stands and in
machines; in Russia, at newsstands (kiosks) and in post offices. Countless cards are also available on the Web; again, be sure to buy from
reputable vendors with clear price information, including minimums, service
charges, and other hidden restrictions. Also, we've seen cases where disreputable dealers will sell used cards, then
claim you don't know how to use them and refuse a refund. This is an unusual
circumstance, but again, buyer beware.
Additional Considerations
Many phone cards allow you to dial several numbers in a single "session;" listen
to the options or read card directions to determine if this is available. This
can save you money in some cases. For example, if a hotel charges a single,
one-time surcharge for you to call the calling card company's 800 number, and
you can make several calls in that single calling card session, you save big. Certain phone cards are also "rechargeable;" that is, you can buy more minutes
when you run out without having to change access codes, PIN numbers, etc. This
can be especially helpful when using the card for Internet access, as you will
not need to type a new access code into your modem dialing strings.
"Collect Them All!"
One interesting offshoot of the boom in phone cards is their new status as
collectibles. Many calling cards are decorated with regional, national,
event-specific, or other interesting imagery. This is not our bailiwick, but some folks have a deep interest in this element of the biz, and we thought it worth mentioning.
