  • Simple terms & conditions

Because hidden fees, overstated minutes, and a general lack of pricing transparency are such a big problem in the calling card industry, we give extra weight to companies that clearly and fully disclose all phone card costs.

In addition, because visitors to our website come from many different countries, we have tried to suggest calling card companies that do business in many countries around the world. In practice that means that we look for companies with access numbers in many locations, have good rates across the board between different countries, and that will bill to addresses in many different countries.
