Usage instructions

Below you can see the approximate list of steps you have to pass to make a long distant call using a prepaid phone card:
1) Dial the access number using touch tone phone (it usually free of charge / toll free or local access).
2) Enter your PIN number (after a prompt). PIN number is hidden under the erasable part of the card.
3) At this step your balance is usually announced.
4) Now you can dial your destination phone number. In many cases this will be the full international dialing code. (00 in Europe, 011 in the USA, then the country code for the country you require).

Example 1: From the US to UK dial 011 44 1882 505144 would be a valid number.
Example 2:

From the UK to US dial 00 1 843 448 1706 (Myrtle Beach) would be a valid number, etc.

5) With most cards you are then informed of how many remaining minutes you have for making a continuous call to this number (or for this country).
6) After finishing the call you can make next call at once using card specific code. Normally, it requires ### or ** - after that you get to step 3
So, to make a long story short, here are the benefits of using prepaid phone cards:

Call from any place where touch tone phone is installed

Save money on international calls (up to 80% over standard calling services)
