Never bought one before but I figure it is a good way for me to call the gf on her cellphone while she is in Paris for the next 5 months. Any advice?
I've been using www.pinzoo.com for a few years for online "phonecards," and have been totally happy with their rates and service. I'm not sure if they can be used to call *from* France though.
Interesting. According to the website it would be as follows: Calling from U.S.A. to France 3.2¢/min France - Cell 29.1¢/min There is a huge difference between calling a landline and a cell. Any experience with getting around that large gap? I know she just picked up a cell today and I don't think she has a landline in her place. 10x more expensive to call a cell seems a bit out there. But what do I know?
Ok, so I went ahead and got one for the meantime. 9cents/min 3min rounding 15% tax --------------------- Is that bad? Lol
Your cell phone provider may give you a good rate. I have Cingular, it is .31 a minute to a cell and .07 per minute to a land line in France but for 3.99 a month they will discount that. I don't know what it is after the discount.
