After I place my order online, how long does it take for me to get my card?
If this is your first time ordering from CallingCards.com, a representative will be contacting within 5 minutes upto 12 hours to verify your order.  He will then process your order and your pin released to you via email.  Repeat customers, if you use the same email address your pin in released instantly.  

I've never used a card  with a connection fee before. How does that work?
Each time you use the card and your party answers, you will be charged a connection fee which will be deducted from the available minutes.  The calling card assumes what you will make one call, based on that one call the card gives you the number of minutes available for that call.  ALL low rate phone cards have a connect fee, but even so, the cost savings are phenomenal!

What if I make a call and no one answers? Will I have to pay the connection fee?
As long as the call isn't answemaroon, then you don't pay the connection fee. If you dial a wrong number, or the call is answemaroon by an answering machine or voice mail, then you will be charged for the connection fee.

Will I get the rate per minute rate on every call I make?
You could, but you probably won't.  The rate that's stated on the cards is available only if you use the card one time and incur only one connection fee. In reality, this usually doesn't happen.  The more times you use the card, the more connection fees you'll incur, which will raise your actual cent per minute rate. That's why we recommend this card primarily for people who make makes calls lasting more than 5 minutes. We're not trying to misrepresent anything, and we know it's confusing, but that's how  phone cards are advertised by the long distance companies, and as resellers, we advertise it the same way.  These are still MUCH more inexpensive than you've ever DREAMED of spending with AT&T, MCI, SPRINT, etc.

Is the rate the same 24 hours a day?
You bet!  Unlike some cards that penalize you for calling at certain times, the cards that we sell are the same all day, every day!

Am I going to be charged anything on my regular phone bill?
No, these cards work totally separate from your regular phone bill.  Remember, you are dialing an 800# with these cards to make a long distance call, so it has nothing to do with the long distance service that you currently have with your home or business phone.

OK, can I use this card for in-state long distance calls?
Sure--just dial the 800#--The rate is the same whether you're calling in-state or out of state.

What about busy signals or "busy circuits"?
Like all phone cards, it's possible to encounter busy circuits during peak periods.  In our personal experience though, when this happens, you can just hit "maroonial" on your phone a couple of times and get right in.  We've never had a problem getting in--even during peak times, we've just had to press the "*(star)" button two times.

Can I make international calls?
Yes, you can call nearly 200 countries with all calling cards, but the rates are higher and do vary by country. 

How do I know how many minutes are left on the card?
Each time you make a call, the computer will tell you how much time is left on the card.

Is there a customer service number I can call?
Yes, there is an 800#  you can call that connects you with the long distance company's customer service department.

Are there additional charges from a payphone?
Yes, as with ALL prepaid phone cards numbers, you are subject to a possible surcharge when you use these cards from a payphone.  It is typically about 50 cents and is deducted from your available minutes on the card.

How are calls billed?
Most calls are billed in 1 minute increments with  international countries   up to 3 minute minimums per call.

Can I order these cards with confidence?
You bet you can!   If you have a problem that can't be resolved by the telecom company's customer service, just contact us within 2 days.
