mike_m Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Calling China for US $.004 per minute? I saw this website on a poster at the library last night: http://www.isellphonecards.com Does anyone have any experience with this company? The rates look too good to be true, but I haven't checked any details like connection fee, minimum billing time etc... Link to comment
egolessvegan Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 You have to pay an additional 2 cents a minute if you use the 800 number instead of the local access numberKen Link to comment
tonymasiello Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Four tenths of a penny per minute??? Doesn't sound right. I've seen rates as low as 2.4 cents per minute for China (We are using http://dynasky.com). Link to comment
hank Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Tony, Thanks for the great recommendation of dynasky.com !!! My long-distance provider has been giving me terrible service, and I was looking for a way to make calls with a phone card. But I was worried that a phone card would not provide records for our interview. Does anyone else have any good phone card recommendations... something where I could get a record of my calls?

Does anyone else have any good phone card recommendations... something where I could get a record of my calls?I use Global speed from Phonecardsonsale.com. 2.4 cents per minute-no access fee and I key it to my phone so no need to dial pin number. One minute =one minute!Also, no need for local acess number,it has an 800 number with no additional charges. I also use it make long distant calls in the US-I think 5 cents per minute in US. Works good but no phone reciepts. Link to comment
wolffjw Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I use 1stphonecard.com (http://www.1stphonecard.com/phonecardInfo.cfm?ProductID=100&CountryID=1) The price is less than 2 cents per minute using local access numbers. I then use my cell phone which has unlimited calling to USA numbers on weekends and after 9:00pm (10:00am in China). Excellent logs and records. -jim Link to comment
sting88 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I use http://www.onesuite.com . The rate is 2.2 cents a minute and keeps a record of every call you make. Link to comment
lele Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I *used* to use one which was only 1.1c/min, and it kept good records. The problem is that the local access number was in western mass, and that their service was terrible, we would often hear a ringing which was louder than we could scream, if we could hear anything at all... today, I use dynasky. it is not great 100% of the time, but it is reliable most of the time.

piggy Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I tried some of the products of isellphonecards.com. Some of their products are good, some are just okay. Just don't go for the ones that give you crazy minutes. I've tried UTA Los Angeles, Simply Asia, The Right One Asia, and Super Quick. They are pretty okay. Thanks. Link to comment
Guest blsqueaky Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Onesuite.com has consistently came out on top for cost/quality when this topic has come up. Every month. After month. After month.I agree here, been using them for almost 2 years now, and never once a problem Link to comment
NY-Viking Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Onesuite.com has consistently came out on top for cost/quality when this topic has come up. Every month. After month. After month.I agree here, been using them for almost 2 years now, and never once a problemI'd like to add my 2 cents ... 2.2 cents I guess for Onesuite as well. A couple of times I had a small delay in the connection, which was odd (I'd say something and she'd hear it 2 seconds later ... I could hear my echo), but that's happened with other services I've used as well. Most of the time, however, crystal clear connection. It's pretty amazing to think about - I'll be outside some place walking around and will just call my fiancee from my cell phone. Anyway, I used to use a MCI calling card I bought at COSCO and kept recharging, but that was something like 17 cents a minute. I saw the recommendations of several CFLers for Onesuite, so I thought I'd check it out. I've been really happy with it. I was using the Onesuite 800 number at first, which is 3.7 cents a minute, until I learned they had local access numbers, which brings it down to 2.2 cents a minute; no connection charges with either. Since I'm calling from my cell phone, calling an 800 number is the same as dialing any other U.S. number, so I use the local access. I was pretty psyched to be paying 2.2 cents after paying 17 cents a minute (which I had thought wasn't too bad), but I'd love to hear if there's something even cheaper. Hey Don - I think these companies should starting paying for advertizing on CFL - we give them a lot of business! Link to comment
tonado Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 My wife complained that she couldn't connect using onesuite during the Chinese New Year. I think all phone cards have that problem during that time. Link to comment
