Many of you may still remember when it cost $2 – 3 a minute to call overseas from the US. Today, there are several options for the budget conscious caller. There is Skype, VOIP phones, cheap mobile phone plans just to name a few. Phone cards have been around in for over 10 years but still without doubt, provide the cheapest option to make international calls from the USA. Most phone card companies claim that they can save you up to 95% when calling overseas compared to your home phone.
It is surprising however, that may people still have not used a phone card or know how they work. This may be due to the fact that phone card companies operate on razor thin margins and do not often advertise in the main stream media.

So where can you buy phone cards and how do you start making cheap international calls? The quickest and most continent way to buy a phone card is online. Websites such as phonecardchoice.com provide a free service to assist you in comparing and finding the phone card with the best rate to the country you want to call. Simply buy a phone card online from these websites and you will be instantly emailed a PIN number and a local access number for the town or city that you are in. You can then start to use the phone card to call overseas immediately.

To use the phone card, you simply:

1. Dial the local access number (printed on the email)
2. You will then hear a computerized voice that will ask you for your PIN (printed on the email). Punch the PIN in on your telephone keypad and the voice will then tell you how much money you have in your phone card account
3. Next, dial the Destination number
For overseas calls, dial:
011 + country code+ area code + local number + [ # ]
For National calls, dial:
1+ area code + local number + [ # ]
The computerized voice will then tell you how many minutes you have for that call based on the money you have in your phone card account and the rate to the destination that you are calling.
4. When you're finished calling, just hang up, or
press [ # # ] to make another call

Phone cards can be used from your mobile or any home or business phone. Unlike Skype, you do not need to set up a microphone on your computer or be next to your computer to make a call. All you need to do is call on the home phone or mobile phone like you have always been doing but pay for a rate that is a fraction of the cost that you have been used to.
