My quest for best way to call China

[Tom & Jen]

After many trial and error of all the different ways to call Jen. I have found this pair to be the best so far. I have found the voice quality to be good, had good luck with getting through the circuit, and the phone call logs will help as one of the supporting documents for proof of relationship when Jen interviews.

 

10-15-335

This runs 6 cents a minute. There's a minimum charge of 10 minutes, so each time you call will cost you a minimum of 60 cents. No monthly fee. What I like is I can talk as long as I want without having to worry about running out of time on the calling card. The phone call logs is right on your phone bill. Here's the link for more info.

This is a calling card via toll-free or local access number. The toll-free number runs 5.5 cents a minute. There is no minimum call length charge or monthly charge. Your account is good for six months from the time you open the account or the when you add more money to the account. You can get to your phone call log from their web site. I use this when want to call Jen when I am out of the house. Here's the link for more info.

hi there,

 

I would like to suggest another IP card, www.bigzoo.com

 

call to China only cost 4 cents per minute, no minimum charge,

 

also you can use this service call from China to USA, same as 4 cents per minute, but plus another 4 cents for each time you call...

 

such as you call from China to USA for 10 minutes, so you would be charged for 44 cents.

Alan and I have been using this service since last summer, that company sometimes even gave us some free minutes as we have made so much phone call from China to USA

Thanks for the information, I have been looking for it , I have had it with the idiots at MCI, now I see why they are in such bad shape, one hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

I use phone cards. I buy them in Chinatown. They are very convenient in that you can use them anywhere. Rates vary, but it averages about a dollar per hour.

I use to buy phone cards from Chinese store, but I stopped two years ago. You can buy them onlone for cheaper and also save you a trip to the store. The best deal I have found so far is from http://www.phonecardforsale.com, I been using them for over a year now.

I pay about 2 - 4 cents a minute, it's very convinent. You get the card instantly via email after placing the order . The 2 cent card give you a lot of minutes but the quality varies. I find the 4 cent/min. card is much more consistent and reliable. You get 1 free card after the 10th purchase.

 

** Read the card description carefully, because some card have different rate with 800 number versus local numbers **

if your fiancee has an sms capable cell phone, you may want to look into oicq's pc to mobile service.

in short, oicq can act as a conduit from your pc to her cell phone which enables you to have chats when shes out and about.
