Most useful Calling Card I've owned
I don't actually "sell" this, but I'm recommending it. If you buy one by clicking on the box below, I think they flick me a few frequent yammerer points or something ... take a look: Best Calling Cards rates
No matter how fancy your road warriorette tools, there are times when it's just not economical to call, or you don't have wi-fi for Skype, or you don't want to overtax a host's generosity and call Zimbabwe on their landline ... The EnjoyPrepaid card has been the handiest thing. I like the DIAMOND card with no weekly fees to eat up your credit, no flagfall (except $1 if you use a payphone), 1 second rounding, and it DOESN'T EXPIRE wihtin 2 YEARS of last use. It use to NEVER expire, but when I called up to hound them about it like the good Customer Evengelist I am, they told me they ended up with all these dead accounts to deal with. I think I had the same $11 balance on it for 3 years but when I needed to use it, it was there. Now and then they send you a polite reminder that you have $x left. You can select one of their cheaper per-minute cards, but those have flagfalls and weekly fees. If I use it on landlines within the States I think it's about 2 cents a minute - - useful for when my cell battery is dead, or there's no celltower reception. For calling Australia or the UK it's about 2.5 cents a minute and 5c going the other way. Calling an Aussie cellphone is naturally higher, 15c/minute, but better than the major carriers. So, You just plonk, say, $20 on it, and they send you a PIN to keep. You can have it auto-renew when the balance gets low. You can use a local access number from whatever landline you are near to get a lower rate than using it from a cell or phone box - and the system remembers you, so you don't have to type in the PIN every time. You can use it anywhere in the world. I think it's pretty durn handy. |
