Prepaid phone cards are made to cater to the pressing needs of people who want convenient means of handling their calls. Since these phone cards allow for international calls, it has become very apt and useful for traveling people, tourists or even relatives trying to cross the distance. Prepaid cards have appeared to be advantageous also as far as call rates are concerned, as most prepaid cards offer the lowest rates most especially with international calls.
Prepaid international phone cards are said to be way cheaper than the standard international rates that are billed and charged on a regular telephone bill that is on a monthly subscription. This is possibly true because of the surcharge rates such as tax, monthly fee and others that are billed together with the phone call made using a regular monthly-billed telephone.
