calling cards? anyone use them?

[andylawcc]

my friend told me those calling cards you get in Sam's Club have awesome rates, like $0.10 a minute. well I don't have a Sam's Club memebership (wait, do I need one). where else can I get one?

more like $0.029 per minute

there are a couple of online places that match/nearly match the rates of the phone cards at Sam's/Costco

the only calling card deals are from Sam's/Costco
but i think some of the long distance plans that use the "10 10" style dialing can be used like a calling card, i dunno, check out their web sites, like big zoo

I use the cards from Sam's Club. Cheaper than any locally available long distance plan.

SAms club are probobly the best, the rest charge connection fees that will kill any margin between 3-10 cents. In other words if you talk for long periods of time (i.e. half hour or more) than the cards are worth it. If your just making quick 5-10 minute calls then those ones will be used up in no time. Sams club uses AT&T cards that don't charge as hgih of connection rates and thus you truely do get all the minutes your buying.

You can usually get a one day pass for free at Sam's Club. Then just recharge the calling card over the phone using a credit card when the minutes are used up.
