Now this is a confusing industry. Walk past most Milk Bars of mini convenience stores and see the phone card posters plastered on the window. There are just so many of them. Cheap Calls, Cheal Calls. Its just so hard to compare them.
I did some research into this market about 12 months ago and found that there are real differences between the providers of these cards. And the key characteristics to look out for are, obviously the call rate, the connection fee and the expiry of the card. As per any prepaid card you can recharge these cards, but you need to do tis regularly otherwise they do expire.
Prior to me discovering that these cards can so easily be purchased online I used to buy them from a store. Today when I needed to make and o/seas call I used prepaidplans.com.au to purchase my All Seasons card. It took me under 3 mins to buy my card. Prepaidplans did all the comparing for me, so I new which card to buy. I paid for it online via their site, they called me within a minute to tell me that I would be receiving my PIN shortly via email. Within a minute it arrived, along with the number I needed to call to begin the connection. One minute later I had made my o/seas call and was paying 2c per minute to call Europe. Is that good or what? Certainly beats waiting till tomorrow to remember to visit a shop and buy a card.
If you want to make an o/seas phone call and don’t want to pay what Optus of Telstra are charging you, visit us and buy yourself a $10 card to make your international calls.
