A prepaid calling card may be the solution to your telecommunications needs. To figure out if a prepaid calling card is right for you, learn the basics of how it works.

You purchase a prepaid calling card for a specific amount of long distance phone service, such as £10 worth of phone time. You'll get access phone numbers and a personal identification number (PIN). If you buy the prepaid calling card online, you get the access phone number and the PIN via e-mail (in this case from Euro Calling Cards).

To make a long distance call, you dial the access number. When requested, you enter the PIN followed by the phone number you want to call.

Call Level or call limits

When you use your prepaid calling card and enter your PIN, a recorded message either indicates the calling time or credit remaining on your card. In some cases you'll hear a warning message if your calling limit is very low. After you use up the prepaid value, your call will be disconnected.

Rates

That depends on the calling card and how much you usually pay for long distance calls. The rates are almost always better than those you'd pay using a regular calling card provided by your local or long distance phone company. Many prepaid calling cards also have a cheaper international rate.

Connection Fee

There's usually a trade-off between per-call charges (connection fee) and per-minute charges. The higher the per-call charge is, the lower the per-minute charge usually is. If you make a lot of long calls, go with the higher per-call rate. If you make short calls, the higher per-minute cards are probably better for you.
