I’m 16 and my best friend just moved to New Zealand. I live in Maine with my parents and have a part time job baby-sitting, but I don’t want my parents to pay for my long distance calls. Which is the best, cheapest way to call long-distance? Should I just get one of those long-distance calling cards? Will this show up on my parents bill at all? I don’t want my parents to pay at all or for this to show up on the bill. Thanks.

Chosen Answer:

your friend is in new zeal and you are in usa. you can use skype unlimited country package.
for only €3.95/month. this is the best offer. unlimited calls for unlimited time. what else you want in such a small amount. keep in mind that its PC to Landline package. for more details see the link. there are more packages , like skype unlimited world and skype pay per phone , but what i recommend is skype unlimited country package , its best for you. see the link below.

I live in Canada and want to make calls to other parts of the country.
My problem is that I only have a cell phone and I don’t want to rack up excessive roaming fee etc. when making long distance calls because my father gets the monthly bill (the phone is on a family plan)
Which calling card would be best for my situation?

Chosen Answer:

The best card to use while calling other parts of the country depends on the country you calling.Different calling cards have different calling rates in different countries try this website and am sure you going to find a suitable calling card http://www.nikenya-phone-cards.com/

I have a phone that’s not in service but i want it to be..but i don’t want a phone plan because i have to sign a contract for two years. Do prepaid phone cards only work with tracfones?

Chosen Answer:

Prepaid phone cards work with the same brand of phones.
Tracfones work with Tracfone cards. Tmobile phones work with Tmobile cards. Verizon phones work with Verizon cards.
The only exceptions are calling cards for long distance international calls which require you have a phone with that phone’s own company providing minutes anyway to charge and add the long distance card rates too.

For example: Net10 phone with 100 Net10 minutes at 10 cents each is . But you can buy a international long distance phone card from Att, Verizon to use over that so it would charge you like 5 cents a minute from Att to call another country but it would still use your Net10 minutes at the same 10 cent a minute rate for a total cost of 15 cents a minute.

The other exception are called “universal prepaid wireless cards”. They have a dollar amount and the names of several different carriers like Verizon prepaid, Tracfone, Att prepaid, Tmobile prepaid etc. But if the carrier is not listed, it will not work with them. These are rare.

So, my boyfriend’s going to Turkey for a bit, and he’s planning on getting a long-distance calling card. I was just wondering if he does this and calls me, then do I still have to pay long-distance fees?
Thanks
