Is There Any Way To Find Out Where I Can Buy An International Phone Card In Austin, Texas?
My brother’s frustrated because his girlfriend is in Ecuador and he’s still in the States… he can’t find any international phone cards around here… is there any place where he can go to get one? Maybe a retailer? He doesn’t want to order online as he wants to talk to her “right now”… any suggestions would REALLY help. Thank you so much in advance.
He can’t find international phone cards??? I don’t think I have gone into a convenience store in YEARS that does not have international phone cards — not in Texas, not in California, not in New York….Where is he shopping??! Try any 7-11, Quik Stop, Minit Mart, or anyplace like that. I think you could go in anyplace, but when I used to stay up near the corner of St. John’s and Cameron Road in North Austin, that was a major immigrant neighborhood and I’m sure all the convenience stores near that intersection would have them. I think so would any convenience store down on South First or South Congress, if you’re more in South Austin. Over by the University, I used to stop all the time at the convenience store that’s around 30th and Duval and I’m pretty sure you can get them there, too….Or probably the convenience store in Dobie Mall — I mean, the University has a ton of international students who need to call home (though college students probably use their cellphones).
I live in a latino neighborhood in Dallas. My Gas stations are full of international phone cards, primarily to Mexico and other south american nations. When I lived in polish neighbrohood in Brooklyn, the same was true. tons of phone cards to eastern europe. So while I have never looked for a phone card in Austin, my first guess would be head to the ethnic neighborhoods and try the bodegas and gas stations.
Yeah that big gass station by the river on South Congress should have a bunch…
Walgreens would definitely have some. They’ve got all kinds of cards for South America and abroad.
The Austin Fiesta store usually has them, but they are out right now. The person I talked with says the “99 cent” store right next door to them has them in stock. The Fiesta is located at 3909 N I-35 Service Rd. Hope this helps.
7-11 or convenient stores. or i think sam’s club has international phone cards too. my husband is in overseas so i know.i also have family in central america.
Just go in any mercado. Try South Congress or Lamar.
