Prepaid Phone Card

A prepaid phone card is the most popular type of phone card on the market. These calling cards allow you to prepay for phone calls and make those calls from virtually any phone. When you purchase a prepaid phone card, it will have an access number and a PIN number. The access number is dialed from a phone to connect to the calling network. The PIN is a unique number that gives you access to your account on the network. Once your PIN is entered, you dial your destination number and the cost of the time you spend on the destination call is deducted from your prepaid balance. It is a very simple phenomenon.

Calls to different destinations cost different rates. Because of this, if you call many different destinations, the amount of minutes your balance accommodates may vary. For example, if you are using a prepaid calling card to call Angola and Thailand and the rates to Angola are cheaper, you will have more available minutes to call Angola than you do to call Thailand. So normally, you prepay a certain amount of money for the card, but the number of minutes you gain depends on where you are calling.

AfrikaCard is an international prepaid phone card that can be used all calls but is specifically designed for Africa. Other prepaid phone cards can be designed for different locations.

When selecting a phone card, you should not only look at price, but also at quality. Some cards are inferior to others when it comes to connection quality. If you are paying for a call, you deserve to have a crisp, clear connection and some prepaid phone cards simply do not offer that. There are plenty of cards out there, including AfrikaCard, that provide both great quality and low rates.
