An International Phone Card Affair
Filed Under travel
My husband’s family is spread all over the world. Mother in France, Father in Mexico, Grandmother in the Dominican Republic. As you can imagine, we have an international calling plan on our phone. But phone cards are still the best bet, sometimes.
We keep a cell phone in the Dominican Republic, so that when someone goes there to visit my husband’s grandma, they have a phone to call the states. Usually, whoever is there just purchases a phone card or two for the duration of their stay. The problem is that there’s a bit of a monopoly on the phone cards, just as their’s a monopoly on many things in the DR. But if we didn’t use the cell, my mother-in-law would have to go to a call center (which is crazy and stressful).
So we found this site, The RichCom.com, which is an excellent source for all international phone card needs. You just plug in the country, select the dollar amount, and purchase them.
My environmentalist mind likes the fact that they just email you the code - there’s no wasteful plastic cards or mailing costs. Some cards work better than others, but we’ve had good luck with all of the ones we’ve purchased.
The other thing I like is that once you’ve put in your search criteria, the results are listed by quality (they assign a star rating), rate (cents per minute) and value in total minutes (i.e., $20 = 540 minutes).
If you’re planning on doing any international traveling, I recommend richcom.com for your calling cards.
