Deciding if You Really Need a Calling Card
When it comes to calling cards, it’s really a matter of knowing what you’re looking for if you want to benefit from the situation. In some cases, a calling card may even turn out to be completely unsuitable for your situation. This makes it crucial to analyze the condition you’re currently in so that you’ll know that a calling card is the right choice for you.
Free calls are always a good thing to have and they’re usually a feature on most modern calling cards, but they can be a double-bladed knife – in some cases, the calling card provider would jack up the other rates to compensate for the benefits you’ll be getting from those free calls. What this means for you as a consumers is that ultimately, you may have to pay more on the card itself than you’re saving from not having to pay for those calls.
Even if you’re a traveler or just find yourself talking on the phone a lot, consider your options carefully – don’t just go for a calling card just because it seems like a good idea. A good rule of thumb is to put together all your phone-related bills (your phone and mobile phone expenses, etc), and try to figure out if you can get a card with free calls on it that offers prices lower than the total you’re getting. If not, it’s probably a good idea to keep using whatever services you’re using right now.
Unfortunately, calling cards are not free yet. But fortunately they are cheaper than a regular phone line.
But video calls via the skype are free. On the other hand I like your idea to keep using whatever services we’re using right now and feel comfortably with them.

I would add just one thing. Some calling card companies require additional verification of your account before you get access to your phone card prepaid. This procedure can be long and nervous. Be careful!
