3timescharm Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I talked with my Na and she wants me to wait until she gets here to decide about how we will be calling her family back in China. We have several choices for use with computer and home phone. For now I need to get a prepaid calling card for her so when I meet her at the airport she can call her father to let him know she got here safely and call her sisters and friends and........................ . I went to the Asian store today thinking this would be a great place to look........could not find any calling cards . I remember when I was married to my ex that we bought them on the internet but have no idea where from. Any suggestions??? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Check out pc2asia.com for a whole selection of cards you can purchase on the internet, and use immediately. You simply dial the access number (a local US number), and then the Chinese number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
