Your Guide to Phone Cards

Helping you through the maze of choices

Prepaid phone cards are a convenient way to make either local or long distance telephone calls, and they often entice people with their offers of potential savings. However, in many cases the marketing information offered in convenience stores or on manufacturers’ websites does not provide potential customers with the information they need to choose the right phone card. With well over 700 different options available in North America alone, the choices can be overwhelming - so much so that many people simply decide to stick with their traditional long distance service provider, rather than experimenting with an unfamiliar product or service. However, if given clear and honest answers to your questions, you might find that a particular type of phone card is a good choice for your needs - or in contrast, that a phone card actually doesn’t make sense for the usage you had in mind.

Guide 2 Phone Cards aims to give you this information, by providing answers to all of your phone card-related questions, explaining terms related to phone card usage, and helping you find the best phone cards for your needs and budget. Here you’ll find information on different types of phone cards, common problems customers might run into when using a phone card, as well as advice on what to do if these problems occur.

With the ever-growing number of phone card services, you can purchase a phone card at gas stations, post offices, discount stores, and many other convenient locations. However, some of the largest savings can be obtained by purchasing phone cards from an online phone card store. Guide 2 Phone Cards aims to help you find a reliable provider of phone card services, whether you choose to purchase online or from a brick-and-mortar retail establishment.
