We've all been there, right? Make an international call for whatever reason, and don't think about it again until you get the phone bill. When the bill does arrive, the call doesn't seem nearly as important as it did at the time. Well, pick up the brick, and put down the phone company until you read these alternatives for international calling.
The first, and probably best, choice for international calling is to use a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service. These services allow telephone usage over an existing high-speed internet line. Their benefits are very high voice quality with free long distance and cheap international calls. These companies do charge a fee for access, but it's usually less than what a phone company charges. If you already have high-speed internet then this is definitely the way to go.
Some people only make international calls occasionally, or don't have high-speed internet. For these people, a phone card is the next best choice. There are a number of phone cards out there from many different companies. It shouldn't be too hard to find one that fits your needs, but to save the most money it helps to have a little knowledge.
The most important thing when looking for a phone card is to make sure that it's usable in your country. Not all phone cards can be used in all countries, though there are some that are usable from anywhere. Don't spend your money on one unless you're sure that it can be used in the country you will be calling from.
Something that is a relatively new option for phone card companies is the use of local access numbers to make the call. These are telephone numbers in your area code that allow the cheapest use of the phone card possible. Otherwise, by calling the toll-free number you'll be charged an additional cost per minute that will be taken from your available minutes. Be sure that there's a local access number nearby when you pick your phone card to get the best deal.
Another feature of phone cards that helps save money is finding a card with no connection fee. The connection fee is a charge that is applied every time you use the card to call a number. This charge also takes away from your available minutes, possibly putting making the phone card more of a hassle than a help. To save the most money with phone cards, find one with no connection fee. They usually cost a little bit more per minute, but at least you'll be able to use the minutes that you buy to talk, and not just connect.
For someone that needs to make international calls there are other options out there than just the phone company. These other options make sense whether you're making an international call once, or have to call Spain from the US on a daily basis. With just a little hard work and research you could be saving money with your very next international call.
