Cheaper International Phone Calls

We used to dread receiving the monthly phone bill. The bill used to be expensive because we made a lot of international calls. We decided to try prepaid calling cards around 2 years ago. This move immediately slashed the costs considerably. Now, I can talk longer without feeling too guilty. Once the prepaid credit is used up, we would then go searching for the best rates by popping from store to store, reading the fliers to find the best phone card to suit our usage. This slight hassle sent us surfing the net for an easier option.

Pingo is one provider offering such international calling cards. Being the 10th largest carrier of international phone calls, they offer competitive rates. For example, it costs only a little over 3¢* per minute to call the US from Australia. (Bear in mind though that the rates do fluctuate due to currency exchange.) Calls can also be made to the UK, Japan and many other countries. Pingo’s website offers more details on their current rates and the countries they cover.

New members are now being offered up to 5 hours of FREE International calls for signing up to a Pingo account. Readers of this blog will receive $8 in FREE CALLS. There is also a special phone card blog discount coupon called “ppp3” available that is valid for $3 off Pingo. That means that you will receive a $25 phone card for just $17. Pingo charges a small monthly account maintenance fee of less than USD$1. Calling time can be purchased online with a credit card or via paypal. With that, a toll free access number and a unique PIN number will be provided to allow immediate usage. Read more about this by clicking on ‘How It Works’ on Pingo’s homepage.

Virtual Calling Cards or prepaid calling cards have made it possible for everyone to enjoy chatting with friends and relatives living overseas. Such a service is also a blessing to those of us who are managing a small or micro business from home. This allows us to contact suppliers and customers from around the globe within a tight budget.
