Calling Card Tips for Military Personnel & Families

• Calling cards purchased over the Internet typically offer more competitive rates and higher quality connections; compared to calling cards that are purchased over the counter (OTC).
• Purchase lower denomination calling 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 calling 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 calling 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 calling card will work internationally.
