Interesting link. It points out another gimmick the phone cards use. I never realized that some of them book in 3 minute increments or add on taxes (15-17%).Robert said:
That answer depends on whether you are calling a land line or a cell phone, will that person always be there every time you call (some cards have connection fees), how much time you will be on for each call (some cards bill in 3 minute increments, others in 20 second increments), and other factors.JC171 said:Does anyone know which are the best calling cards to use when calling from Florida(orlando) to DR (to landlines and cell)
Is this for a $2, $5, or $10 card?BluKris said:I realize you mentioned that you're calling from Orlando, but I use Miami Mundo-which has a local number when calling from Orlando, so I can only imgaine that you should be able to find it.It provides roughly 43mins to a cell;and 245mins to landline.

The link worked fine for me. Try cutting and pasting the link into you browser.ElvisNYC said:I couldn't access the link, but is that rate also good for calls made to DR cell phones ?
I agree with you assessment of phone cards.mamilinda said:Phone cards suck. I got a deal with my local phone company (sbc) - I can call there for .17 a minute. I've found that it is cheaper than a calling card due to the crazy per connect fees.

laurapasinifan said:robert those are land line quotes!!!!!!!! they dont SAY what a cell would cost.....leaves it wide open...on the cards I have used that give me a real 45 minutes for my $5, they say they would give me over 3 hours when i call a land line.
3 hours on a $5 card is 2.77 cents a minute!!!!!!I have never talked to a land line for 3 hours so i dont know..I imagine it might be a tad less like the cell numbers give
the best card on that web site is double that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually prefer calling cards, because the card I use "Fabuloso NY" gives me 22 minutes for $2 (to cell phone), making it easier to stick talking for that amount of time and not spending too much money. I use the entire time, one phone call only.
A while ago I had bought a $2 card in NJ and got 40-50 minutes to a DR cell phone, but it doesn't work anymore.
So right now I'm looking for a better deal !
They are a long distanc eprovider. They charge 12 cents a minute to the DR (landline or cell), 3 cents a minute within the US, have a service charge of $3 a month (you can get this waived if you sign someone else up), and bill in 6 second increments.mamilinda said:It's from my home phone. When I call from my cell phone, I use a calling card - because it's like .69/minute to talk - which is too high. Tell me more about KissLD
Bob, why haven't you signed up for KissLD. Because of the 6 second billing increment, those answering machine calls would only cost you .02.laurapasinifan said:what I hate is the dropped calls that make you call back..sometimes using up more fees......I have made calls with CRAZY and EXTREME where I got the answering machine and then called back and the voice said i had one minute less than I did before...so they were charging actual time not in huge blocks.
