My sister is currently vacationing overseas and it is not often enough that I talk to her on the phone. I just heard about international phone cards so I can definitely stay in touch with her more often. The website GetMeCallingCards.com is offering a large number of phone cards, which allow people to call from or to 153 countries.

All you have to do is go to the site, enter the name of the country in the search field on the main page, then be redirected to a page which displays choices of cards. A list will show the denominations and prices. The last step is to enter your information and payment details. The card is ready to use right away. Currently, my sister is in Paris and the cheapest Paris calling card rate is 3.1¢/Minute. When your card runs out of money, just go to the site and refill it once more using your account. Very convenient and useful.
