What is a Phone Card?

Telephone cards (phone cards for short) or calling cards are credit-card-sized cards that are used for paying phone service. Phone cards are popular not only because they are convinient, but also affordable. Using calling cards is the easiest and the fastest way to keep in touch with your family and friends for low price. Calls can be made from almost anywhere with any type of phones.

By purchasing prepaid calling cards from PhoneCard Stop, you are paying for long distance connection time in advance, and you do not have to sign any contract or agreement or pay for any monthly fees and sign up fees. When you purchase a prepaid phone card, you already pay for prepaid long distance service from telecom companies who produces these cards. Prepaid calling card has its amount of balance stored depending on the face value. When a call is made, the cost of calls is deducted from the balance based on connection fee, duration of call, surcharges, and any maintance charges associated with phone card. When the balance is too low to make a call, the phone card can be disposed.
