As Taiwaned says, no need for a calling card. Skype and Google have free or near-free solutions, depending on who you're calling; a month of unlimited calls to US numbers on Skype is $2.99, for instance.

If you don't want to use a computer-based solution, China Mobile's 12593 or China Unicom's equivalent service both offer very low rates for calls to the US (around 0.5 RMB, or $0.07 per minute). You can pick up a SIM card for either service nearly anywhere and just pop it into any unlocked phone.
