Pre Paid Calling Crads
Can I get one pre-paid phone card that will enable me to call from
France,England and Italy to anywhere in the world,or do I need a separate card for each country? The only cards I have found can only be used for calling from the U.S. Thanks.. |

Not as good as buying a local calling card, but that said, I usually find when I buy a local card, I don't use all the credit. Check the fine print though- for example, many of them expire somewhat prematurely. David -- David Horne- www.davidhorne.co.uk davidhorne (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

The only cards I have found can only be used for calling from the U.S. Thanks.. AT&T and MCI prepaid cards allow calls to and from just about anywhere. Of the two, the MCI card tends to have better rates when calling from abroad. Someone else mentioned the Nobel card. It looks like a good deal but keep in mind that it has a $0.69 per week "maintenance fee" and expires in 6 months. That's not a concern if you plan to use nearly the whole balance in a short period; in my case I use these cards on a few trips per year, so the maintenance fee and time limit would eat up most of the balance. As always the best deal will depend on your intended usage. -- |

Pre Paid Calling Crads
richard,
I got the MCI prepaid card at Costco. It's 2.98 cents/min for domestic calls in the US and I know that to Italy from the US it's .13/min and from Italy to US .20/min - call the 800# to find out rates for others.

I gotta say, those international rates are not too hot. miguel -- Hit The Road!
