Why should I use a calling card?

There are many reasons why you should use calling cards.

Here are a few:
They are often much cheaper than long distance providers.
They are cheaper than your local phone company.
They are cheaper than collect calls and operator assisted calls.
You can budget your long distance calling costs.
You can bypass hotel and educational institution systems with the resultant savings. (Dialing calling card toll free access numbers allows you to bypass the system.)
There are no monthly bills, and no detailed statements. Rather, you simply pay for the calling time in advance and reduce the prepaid balance as you make calls.
