Looking for phone cards for business travel or vacation? Online Phone Card's
phone cards can be used for Domestic U.S. calling, international
calling and for calling back to U.S. from over 130 countries
worldwide (even country to country) at low discount rates.
Prepaid phone cards are ideal for travel or vacation because making a long distance
phone call from a hotel room, airport or local payphone can cost in excess
of $1.00 per minute, and much more if outside of the U.S.
What about using my cell phone? Cell phones are not always a
viable solution for long distance calls. Some cellular phone
plans do not include nationwide long distance or international long distance.
Plus, your cell phone may not be a World Phone (doesn’t support
GSM), and cannot be used outside of the U.S. Even if you have a World
Phone, chances are you’ll pay roaming fees and/or a very large per
minute rate.
Below, we have featured a few phone cards ideal for travel and vacations within
and outside of the U.S. If you wish to quickly find the best phone card
for your travel needs by rate comparison, use the rate finder
above (or atop any page within the site).
Rate Comparison: Within the U.S. and back to the U.S.
Tips for using
phone cards when you travel:
- Phone cards purchased over the Internet typically offer more
competitive rates and higher quality connections; compared to phone
cards that are purchased over the counter (OTC).
- Purchase
lower denomination phone cards and try to use them up during a single
phone call. This tip may help you avoid additional fees to receive the
minutes you have paid for.
- Some phone cards will provide very different rates if
used from a payphone or cellular phone. Likewise, calls originating
from a country outside of the US and terminating in the US will
have higher rates due to international surcharges.
- Make
your purchase based upon the type of phone call you will be
making:
-US domestic -International -Cellular
- Know how long your average phone call usually lasts so that you can
select the appropriate phone card denomination (e.g. $5, $10, $20).
- Know
the per minute rounding for any card you purchase. For example, three
minute rounding means minutes are deducted from your card in blocks of
three, even if you make a one minute phone call.
- If you are traveling outside of the US, make sure you know if your phone card will work internationally.
