the 99 cent store only store sells these cards that allow you to call long distances but my question is do they really work? they are a dollar which let you talk for 99-100 minutes but my question i had was i wanted to know if anyone had used these and were they satisfied and do they really work?
ok but is it possible that they charge just like if a scam can occur and they charge for the long distance 80 dollars or something if they do like how much is a long distance call from here cali to Illi…

Chosen Answer:

Yes and No. They do work, HOWEVER their Idea of 99-100 minutes is MUCH different than yours. Plus it also depends on the amount of change you have left on your card. For Instance. If you talk for 1 minute and 1 second you are billed 2 minutes and so forth (4 mins 2 seconds is 5 mins etc…) And SOMETIMES if connecting you to long distance or certain areas they may charge you a couple of cents without telling you, It may be a penny or three more but that shortens your time! Hope i helped in some way.

All rights go to Deana Carter and her record company. I do not own anything. Lyrics: He was working through college on my grandpaw’s farm. I was thirsting for knowledge and he had a car. I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child. When one restless summer we found love growin’ wild. On the banks of the river on a well beaten path. It’s funny how those memories they last. Like strawberry wine and seventeen. The hot July moon saw everything. My first taste of love oh bittersweet. Green on the vine. Like strawberry wine. I still remember when thirty was old. And my biggest fear was September when he had to go. A few cards and letters and one long distance call. We drifted away like the leaves in the fall. But year after year I come back to this place. Just to remember the taste. Of strawberry wine and seventeen. The hot July moon saw everything. My first taste of love oh bittersweet. Green on the vine. Like strawberry wine. The fields have grown over now. Years since they’ve seen the plow. There’s nothing time hasn’t touched. Is it really him or the loss of my innocence. I’ve been missing so much. yeah Like strawberry wine and seventeen. The hot July moon saw everything. My first taste of love oh bittersweet. Green on the vine. Like strawberry wine. ohhh strawberry wine

i have a friend overseas that id like to call…if i get a phone card for that purpose, how do the fees work? i understand my carrier’s long-distance fees won’t apply assuming i use the card right, but how does it work on the other end? are they charged for long-distance on their side?

just trying to figure it all out before i do anything and run up my bill, haha.

thanks!

Online Calling Card: How It Works

Are you tired of searching for a payphone? An online calling card may be the answer to all of your calling needs. Learn how an online calling card works and see if it is right for you. First, you must know that an online calling card is not the same as a calling card provided by your local or long distance phone company. An online calling card is paid for before you make any calls.

With the online calling card you know exactly what you are spending and you will not accidentally go over on your minutes as you are talking. Your online calling card works by purchasing a specific dollar amount of long distance phone service. You will get an access phone number and a (PIN) personal identification number. If you purchase an online calling card online you may not get a card at all. Instead you will get the access phone number and the PIN.

How To Use The Online Calling Card

You will enter the toll-free access number to make your long distance call. You will be asked to enter the PIN then the phone number you want to call.  You are able to check and see how many minutes are left on the card. A recorded message indicated what is left on the card each time you use your card.

When the card is almost used up you will receive a warning message during your phone call when you have only one minute of talk time left on the card. You will be disconnected when you use up the prepaid value. The price of an online calling card is usually competitive to the rates you would receive with a long distance carrier. But many online calling cards have a cheaper international rate than you get with a basic rate long distance plan.

Online calling cards are great as a gift to other people. Encourage a family member to call more often by buying them a prepaid online calling card. They are great for college students who parents pay the phone bill. They know up front how much they are going to spend for long distance calls. Prepaid online calling cards are also good for people who travel because you don’t have to pay with change at a phone booth, or pay high hotel phone rates. Weigh your options and decide if you will benefit from an online calling card. It may be a great benefit to you.
