If I buy a phone card overseas can I call home?
Calling from Thailand to Australia: (currency is US dollar)


1. calling card, the best rate is 22.9 cents/min without connection or maintenance fee.


2. if you have a direct phone line and internet access, you can try another card, only 4.3 cents/min. Register 2 phone numbers online and talking through physical phone lines.

Reply:definitaly, there is no doubt.
Reply:1) I liked fffrrreee's second option; although I think you should be able to get a SIM cheaper than Baht500 (like Baht200-300), I think there are even some at Baht99. This link will give you some more info about getting a Thai SIM and using it to make international calls:-

2) A lot of internet cafes have Skype software on their PCs so if you have a Skype account already then you can call at Skype's rate. What is it, 3 cents a minute?





I find that Skype works much better on a high-speed internet line and I call Australia from Thailand on it quite a lot (as that's where I went to uni).

Reply:Here are your 2 options:





1. But an International Phone card at any 7-11. The only trick here is taht the phone card must work at the same phone booth. So look for a row of phone booths near your hotel - remember what logos are on (which phone companies they represent). Then buy the phone card that matches the booth. Ask the 7-11 person for international cards - they all have good rates.





2. Easier - if you have an AUstralian GSM phone, but a SIM card for 500 baht with a thai number. Put that SIM card into your Australian GSM phone and make international calls really cheap. when you are done making calls - switch the SIM card back to your Australian one. You can also make calls within thailand cheap with your thai SIM card. You can also buy recharge cards at any 7-11 (7-11 stores are everywhere)!
Reply:of course yes,,,,,,,, why not if it is internationl value
Reply:yes! i think u must opt 2 buy coz If u purchase a phone card there u can call Australia. they would cost 2 $ only.

How do phone cards work?

Im looking for a phone cards that can go with my cell phone.. I know that to activate it you have to dial a specific number and give them your pin.





My real question is though, do you have to dial that number ever single time i call someone? Or is it just a one time activation and then I call normally each time?





Any recommend a good phone card that is pretty cheap and is reliable? Thanks guys!

Why do Real estate agents & attorneys have self-pictures on their name cards, phone directories and billboards

Do they think they're celebrities?


Do they think they're hot?


seriously whats up with that?

Why do Real estate agents %26amp; attorneys have self-pictures on their name cards, phone directories and billboards
Ever notice with Real Estate agents that it looks like they all went to the same photographer? They all have the same insincere smile thing going on and they look stoned.
Reply:Not celebrities. And usually not too hot either! It's just one more way to be more memorable to people. Some people are really good with names, others not so good with names, but really good with faces. So if your business card has your picture on it, it's more likely someone will remember meeting you and hold on to your card for a longer time. Hopefully, that means they're more likely to call you when they actually need your services. Real estate agents use their business cards with clients and for networking with a broad variety of other business vendors: attorneys, home inspectors, contractors, mortgage lenders, etc. It's often helpful if THOSE people remember them too.
Reply:Its called marketing...
Reply:It's a marketing tool. They are made to look trustworthy to entice people to use their services.


If someone calls you internationally with a phone card, Do you get charged?

Say your friend in England uses a calling card to Phone you, would you get charged any rates like general international fees despite him using a card?

I want some creative help here...I have this huge collection of phone cards(hundreds) which have been only ...

used to call my special one..bf..now I am going to visit him after two years almost...can anyone tell me what way I can make a nice, creative and adoring use of them....to just make him happy? P.S. I am thinking numbers here...the cards have a ten digit code on them...and also they are white strips (5.5 cm x 23 cm)....with codes for different locations from Canada ....I mean you can either make me do something with the exact phone cards or if you can do something with the numbers..the ten digit codes I told you about....to make something fabulous out of numbers...thanks I would highly highly be obliged if any one of you might be able to give me the slightest idea....

why not do something with the cards and the numbers,... take the cards and write the numbers in a blank address book...next to each number, write something down that you will do to him or for him that is unique to that number (like the call you made to him) write down 10 kisses on the back of the neck, breakfast in bed, a dozen pieces of his favorite candy, you know things like that...special things... drop the cards in a nice gift bag... have him shake the bag up... and pull out a card...and you both have fun seeing what he's won..there is no end for the use of the cards or the love that you have using them.
Reply:Make a scrapbook page. In one corner he'll be on the phone. In the opposite corner, there'll be a picture of you on a phone. Add an embellishment that looks like a phone cord between the two pictures. Add a phone card somewhere on the page.


Make a birdhouse/feeder and use the excess cards for shingles.


Make a mobile.
Reply:Glue them to a heavy piece of cardboard and cut it out in the shape of a heart.
Reply:you could do a scrap book by the month with the cards you have used as a basis and photos of him and you, save space at the end for the final photo of the two of you together.

Buy online.
Reply:Those might be good options but I live in México and I´ve never heard of those companies.





She could try buying a LADATEL card 30 ,50 or 100 pesos, I recomend the 100 pesos one. With this card she can only call from public phones, but there are plenty of those everywere here in Mexico!!! and I think the fee is like 1 peso per minute which is more or less like 10 cents (i´m not really sure but the instruccions in the public phones have all the info, she can check it before buying the card, it´s very easy there´s one on every corner, and the card can be purchased in any grocery store, and many other places like hotels and big stores sell them too, she could try Sanborns, they sell the cards and there are phones near the rest rooms). And the public phones have instructions in english. There are another cards with similar names that are more complicated tu use because you use a code etc, etc, but no, this one is simple just insert it, dial and that´s it. Remember is Ladatel.
Reply:Nobelcom http://www.nvcards.com/ gives you 4.2 c/min rate with an access number in Mexico.





Another choice is Cloncom (a company from Argentina). See http://www.prismlongdistance.com/
