Calling card recommendations?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I need to send a calling card with someone in the states to use to make calls from one contintental state to another, any recommendations on which to use?

The cheaper is better but it should be reliable and not something we're going to have lots of issues with. 5 cents per minute would work well, anything cheaper is better and higher I'd like to avoid.

Any recommendations? Searching google just brings up tons of ads and SEO optimized sites that I'm not sure I can trust.

I've been happy with this card, and I've purchased from this site: http://www.uniontelecard.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=1266

Turn the water on in every house you rob.

Excellent, just called them and they said they email the pin number so I wouldn't need to wait for anything to be mailed either.

It's the little mark we're going to leave, everyone has one, I think it's about time I start one for myself.

bump, any other thoughts? uniontelecard.com didn't seem to have very good reviews online and their website doesn't seem to portray a very trusting service either, that alone obviously can't determine it and I realize that.

I used to work in a Sprint call center adding minutes to prepaid calling cards (that job ate my soul).

Go to Costco and get the Sprint calling cards @ 4.16 cents per minute. Call the 1800 number on the back to add more minutes ("Sprint refresh, this is Kirkaptain and my rep ID is 10357. May I please have your credit card expiration date?"), purchase as some minutes, then ask for the MCI pricematch at 2.85 cents per minute (this is known as a Gratis Refresh). That is the lowest rate Sprint offers and it is only available on the 4.16 cent Costco card.

If calling internationally, get a Blackstone International card; it has the lowest international rates of any Sprint calling card by a wide margin.

Where are you calling? You guys are getting uberly ripped off.

Then again, we cheap Asians know where to get the best stuff. I pay $10 for 300 minutes and I call Taiwan. If you're calling Asia, seriously, just go talk to one of your Asian brothers who will hook you up with cheap@$$ phone cards. I can't believe you guys are going with these huge telecom companies that charge absurd amounts. I can get these rates using a fixed land line and a plan from SBC basically.
