Phone cards are the easy and economical way to stay in touch when
away from home of the office. Anyone who places local or long distance calls -- employees,
travelers, college students, etc -- would benefit from having a calling card.
Phone cards allow you to have peace of mind that you can place a
phone call at any time or place. Calling cards work from any touch-tone telephone
(payphone, hotel, cell, etc).
There are two types of phone cards: prepaid and non-prepaid.
Prepaid - With prepaid phone cards, you pay for the call time before it is used. Cards are normally sold in
specific dollar denominations. Talk time will vary depending upon the location called.
Some of the advantages of prepaid calling cards include:
-
Fast - Select prepaid calling cards service offer to
email PINS and dialing instructions within one business day of
purchase.
-
Control - Prepaid telephone cards are great for budgeting since
you control how much is spent. There is no bill with surprises at the end of the month.
Non-prepaid - With
non-prepaid (or monthly billed) phone cards, you are billed for calls after the fact.
Normally, non-prepaid phone card usage is automatically charged once a month to a
designated credit card. Some of the advantages of non-prepaid calling cards include:
-
Continuous talk time - Monthly-billed phone cards have virtually
unlimited talk time. You won't run out of time in the middle of a call.
-
Convenience - No need to continually purchase more telephone
cards because time ran out.
-
No Expiration - Since non-prepaid phone cards do not expire, you
will not lose money on unused minutes.
-
Call Detail Reporting - Non-prepaid telephone cards provide an
account record of all of your calls.
