What About Using My Cell Phone When I Travel?
Cell phones are not always a viable solution for long distance
calls. Some cell phone plans do not include nationwide long distance or international
long distance. Further, your cell phone may not be a World Phone
(doesn’t support GSM), and cannot be used outside of the USA.
Even if you have a World Phone, chances are you’ll pay roaming
fees and/or a very large per minute rate. This is why
you should bring a prepaid calling card with you whenever you travel; it's
a cheap alternative you can use with your cell phone or landline.

Tips for Using calling cards When You Travel
- 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.
