Best Phone Cards
 

On my last trip I discovered the phone card company I had been using for years was gone and their numbers disconnected. That company was VoiceNet and they were great and inexpensive anywhere in the world. No miles, but really cheap!

Any recommendations for a new phone card?

I prefer the billed kind rather than the pre-paid.

Thanks in advance.

try www.onesuite.com. They are cheap and so far good

Both Costco (www.costco.com) and Sam's Club (www.samsclub) offer cards with the low rates of $0.0416/minute. (no membership fees are required at either of these places if the cards are purchased online).

I used to use VoiceNet also. What we need is a calling card with international access codes - onesuite and the costco and sam's cards don't cut it.

I use IDT/net2phone for local US and overseas access. http://www.idt.net/callcard/

If the Sam's and Costco cards you are talking about are the same AT&T ones I buy there, then they can be used from overseas, just use AT&T Direct numbers, which exist for most countries in the world. The WWW site has all of the current numbers. I use them all the time. Great deal!

Costco sells Sprint prepaid phone cards.

www.costco.com > electronics & cameras > Telephones & Two-way

For local calls I like:
www.bigzoo.com

and for International calls:
www.nobelcom.com

is a very good company and they have a lot of cards for different countries.

The cards from Costco work great--both MCI which they used to sell and Sprint which is now on their shelves. I've used both cards to call to Europe and to call USA when I'm in Europe. The rates are great and they come with 800's in both America and European countries.

I'm going to miss voicenet, I loved them.

The Sam's Club card is a good deal and because it is an AT&T card can be used almost anywhere in the world. I too had Voicenet and was very disappointed to see them fold.

The comment above that a membership in Sam's Club is not necessary to purchase online did not work for me. Website asks for membership number to register and purchase the phone card. If you don't have a membership you can buy one online but...

So my final conclusion for a new phone card is:

TTI National

They are the card that Costco represents.
Similar in every way to Voicenet.

ordering from costco online is free shipping and no sales tax. non members pay about $1 more.

This is not a pre-paid card, it's an account. There is no shipping charge.
