How to make cheap international calls from your cell phone

If you're one of the many people who no longer have a land line and rely solely on your cell phone for all your calls, you can be stuck with expensive rates when it comes to making international calls.

Many people have ditched their traditional land lines with the inexpensive and expanded and reliable coverage of mobile phones. They enjoy true mobility without losing any of the advantages of a home land line; except for one: expensive international rates.

The solution is either a prepaid phone service; this can be in the form of a phone card, or a more wholesome dial around service. Finding the right phone card can be like picking your favorite jelly bean, you're taste changes and so it's hard to find the right one or to even decide on only one.

Phone cards can be nice in that they are ubiquitous at almost any gas station or supermarket. However, you're always stuck trying to find the right card for the destination that you're calling because each card is meant for a particular destination or region. In addition, once you find a good phone card, the quality soon deteriorates and the card eventually vanishes from the shelves. You're then back to the drawing board.

Another solution is using a dial around service such as Tel3Advantage where there are less worries and more predictability. Instead of having 5 different phone cards in your wallet for the five destinations that you call most, a dial around service tries to please you with an all around service with modest rates and good call quality. In essence, they try to take away to troubles of phone cards and give you a good all around service.

Dial around service has the additional benefits of Pinless dialing, auto-recharging, and online account management. In the end, you establish an account with them and forget about the hassles of running to the gas station to choose from the myriad of phone cards and instead, relax with the convenience of making cheap calls from your cell phone.

The End of Phone Card Hassles.

Still using a phone card like it is still 1999?

Phone cards were introduced to the market in order for consumers to be able to make cheap calls on the go and to avoid the high rates of a traditional long distance carrier. Phone card companies saw it as an opportunity to take advantage of the average consumer and make a buck. They introduced phone cards that caught the consumers' attention with low rates but with all sorts of hidden fees and poor call quality. In the end, the consumer got the short end of the stick because a card that was supposed to allow you to talk for 200 minutes, left you with 50 minutes after the "connection fee". In the middle of the conversation (not to mention the poor voice quality), the call is dropped. Call again and you find out that they've taken minutes away per the "disconnection fee". Try calling customer service and complaining and you find yourself wanting to rip out your hair. I remember once calling customer service of a particular phone card to complain of lost minutes without even being connected and I was talking to a lady with children running around her probably talking out of her home.
