Beware of Hidden Fees on Your Prepaid Phone Card You might think that a calling card is a calling card, and that's that. But actually, the amount of service that you can get for your currency varies greatly. Some prepaid phone cards tack on additional fees that you might not notice at first glance.

Some of the hidden charges that can shorten the life of your prepaid phone card include an additional charge for making a call from a pay phone. Then there are service fees calculated per month, week, or even per daily.

A minimum charge per call, or a per-call service fee swiftly reduces your card's balance. While rounding the length of your call up to the nearest minute, or even larger blocks of time, cuts into your available talking time. And nastiest of all, an expiration date that makes your prepaid phone card invalid even if minutes are still remaining.

In order to be sure you are buying the best calling card for your needs, make sure that you read all of the small print about charges and fees.

Watch Out for Misleading Advertising on Your Calling Card Some prepaid phone cards will advertise great rates, like "International Calls, Only Two Cents per Minute!" Often,, these rates are only available for specific countries. If you intend to use a calling card for international calls, make sure that you are receiving a good rate for the countries or countries that you want to call.

Is there a question you've been dying to ask? A dilemma that's been bothering you, but you didn't know how to solve? This write-up could be the answer you've been looking for. We have consulted authorities on the subject who'll give you the latest and most accurate facts -- your research ends here!

Make Sure that your Calling Card Service is Reputable Some prepaid phone card users have had the unfortunate experience of being left with a useless calling card when the company who sold them went out of business. Other people have found that the access number to use the card was missing or always busy, and that there was no number available to reach buyer service.

In order to minimize your risks, be sure that you check out your prepaid phone card thoroughly before purchase. Check that the card contains:

* A toll-free access number, to place your calls * A toll-free customer service number * All fees and expiration dates * The official name of the company offering the calling card

It's a good concept to call both toll-free numbers before purchasing the prepaid phone card, just to be sure that they are active and available. Asking for referrals is also a good way to be sure you are buying a good calling card.

What Should I Do if My Calling Card is a Dud? If you believe that you have been overcharged by your prepaid phone card company, you may request detailed records of all calls and fees. Each calling card company is required to substantiate their fees upon request. Charging multiple service fees per call or charging for calls that were busy or not completed is illegal.
