So, I guess Emily really likes France.  It’s such a big surprise to me, because I thought we would stay in our tiny town together forever.  I imagined her kids and mine becoming best of friends as well.  But she says that she is staying for at least a year.

Well, that just means more discount telephone calling cards and big care packages for a long time to come.  I really do miss her, but maybe I will step out of my shell and visit her for a month or so.

I lived next door to my best friend for decades.  Her family home was right next to mine.  We coincidentally picked the same city for college so we got to hang out with each other.  Growing up in small town and moving to a big city was such a huge change and with my friend there with me, I was able to make the transition so much better than I would if I was all by myself.  
 
After college, I moved back to my hometown to be back with my family.  Emily, on the other hand, always a little more adventurous than I ever was, decided to move to another country.  That’s when the big phone bill came in.  I found cheap international calling cards that reduced my bill by a ton.

If you are looking for a phone card or an International Phone Card here are some tips that you should know.

Tip #1 -Eliminating the False Offers

Advertisements for 1 Cent a minute for International Calling are not usually a real offer.

Tip #2 - Connection  or Disconnections Charges

The most common charges are connection and disconnection charges; these charges can range from 10 cents to a few dollars just for connecting or disconnecting a call. So always check the “more information” or “more detail” links to see what the other charges there are.

Tip #3 - Other Hidden Charges

Monthly, weekly service fees, or maintenance fees are other hidden fees that can be found in some Calling Cards. These fees can use up balance without you even making a call.

Tip #4 - Billing Increments

Look for what the cards bill you at whether it is per second, per minute, per 3 minutes, and even per 5 minutes. This means if you make a 1 minute call with a card that bills in increments of 3 minutes, you would get charged for 2 extra minutes. So look for Calling Cards that bill per minute or per second.

Tip #5 - Do Calling Cards Expire?

Some cards do expire and when they do, what ever is left on the card is lost. So look for cards that never expire or Calling Cards you can recharge.

Tip #6 - Added Features

There are some Calling Cards that offer extra features besides their calling service. Account management, speed dial, voicemail, and more. This can be a sign it is a solid product.
