Why should I use a calling card?
· They are often much cheaper than long distance providers.
· They are cheaper than your local phone company.
· They are cheaper than collect calls and operator assisted calls.
· You can budget your long distance calling costs.
There are no monthly bills, and no detailed statements. Rather, you simply pay for the calling time in advance and reduce the prepaid balance as you make calls.

How do these cards work?
It's really very simple. Each card has an 800 number or a local access number.
It also has a "PIN" or account number. Just dial the 800 number or the local access number, enter your "PIN" number, then you'll be prompted to enter the phone number that you're calling.
