What are Instant Online International Phone Cards?
An Instant Online Phonecard is simply a prepaid phonecard that can be purchased instantly online. Once purchased, your phonecard is activated and you can use your instant phonecard immediately.
The savings generated using a phonecard as opposed to your normal longdistance carrier can be considerable.

How to use Instant Online International Phone Cards
To use your instant phonecard follow the dialing instructions you received with your purchase or use the instructions sent to you via e-mail. Phonecards generally follow this format:

To make a call you dial the indicated 800 number, enter your phonecard PIN and then dial the number you want to call.
- for domestic calls: dial area code + number
- for international calls: dial 011 + country code + city code +   number

Which Phone Card is best for me?
It depends on your calling habits. If you typically make frequent and shorter calls (less than 10 minutes), or tend to get a lot of answering machines, you are better off with a card that has no connection fees (surcharge).

If your calls average over 10 minutes, a card with connection fees is probably better for you because that surcharge is spread out over several minutes.
Example:
               Phone Card:  3.9¢/min. rate + 49¢ surcharge
         Avg. Call Length:  10 minutes
Actual Cost per Minute = ((.039 x 10) + .49) / 10
                                  = $0.088 per minute
