use a calling card if I have no long distance plan from my service provider

Can I use a calling card if I have no long distance plan from my service provider?
I plan on using third party calling cards for international calls. If I cancel my long distance plan from my service provider, will I be able to use my calling card? Thanks for any help.
think most people now uses a calling card instead of using their providers long distance service due to major difference in rates.
As long as the calling card service provides “local access” dial-around numbers, or 1-800 toll-free access numbers, then you do not need to have long distance access enabled on your land-line phone.
I dropped my long distance carrier 8 years ago. No more paying a minimum monthly service fee, no more mandated FCC fees.

I use my cell phone for long distance, if I need to fax, I use a phone card.

Not all phone cards are created equal!
Check the fine print. Some cards will eat time after the first use, some do not, some charge a connect fee, some do not.

research before you jump.

you can program speed dial locations for the access/authorization codes so you do not need to dial so many digits.
Yes since most calling cards will offer you a toll free number or a local number.

best calling card to use to call the Philippines

What is the best calling card to use to call the Philippines?
Review of the calling cards
I have tried the calling card I use domestically but when I call the philippines, I can never get through, have a lousy connection or some random recording telling me why I cant reach the party I’m calling……

Ive been there and I know exactly what you mean. Forget about those calling cards you buy at shops, they are biggest scams. I finally settled with the company speedypin.com they have prepaid cards that you can purchase over the internet or call them, I have the Emerald Plan for calling Phil.
Try it, you will have peace of mind. Merry Christmas.

I got it. I like it. Connection was good. Price was also good. Thanks to all who contributed…

calling cards call the us from France on trip

What calling card (phone card) can I buy in the US so I can call the US from France on my Trip?

I saw a Sprint International Phone Card that said things about calling from the U.S. to other countries. I haven’t seen any cards that say anything about calling from a country to the U.S.

Do I need to wait until I get to the country to get the phone card? Or where should I go to get one in this country? Where do I get one in France if I get one there, I’ll be with a group and may not be stopping at many convenience stores.

call someone on a cell phone using a calling card and not use daytime minutes

Can you call someone on a cell phone using a calling card and not use daytime minutes?
The calling card will be used using my cell phone and not a land phone. Is this possible without wasting my daytime minutes? Or is it better to use a land phone when calling someone with a calling card?
Use a land phone. I used to call an 800 number to talk to my cousin years ago when I was young and didn’t know any better. THEY STILL CHARGE YOU!!!!
You will still use up your mobile minutes if you use a calling card. The only purpose for using the card is if the card is for international calls, so you wont get charge by your mobile carrier.
Use a land line if it is possible. But remember there are extra charge debit from your calling card if you use a payphone.
