New International Calling Cards

The big phone card companies are issueing phone cards at a dizzy pace. Of course this is discouraging. The reason phone card companies continue to introduce new international calling cards every week, is because their customers know that the phone cards that were created several months ago are no longer delivering the minutes as advertised.

I deal with many of the major phone card companies including Union Telecard (UTA, IDT), Clifton Telecard (CTA, ITG), Cristel Telecom, Oblio Telecom, Total Call, Exchange (Radiant, Reliable, INTC), STI, STX, and many other phone card issuers. Every one of them introduces phone cards which are very attractive for a number of months, and then become undesirable in terms of delivered minutes. Very few of their phone cards remain competitive for more than one year.

The good news for the consumer, is that these phone card companies introduce new phone cards as loss leaders to attract the consumer for country specific calling. If the consumer tries the new cards that advertise for a specific country, then the consumer will generally be very happy with the result.

Today, the best new phone cards for calling Africa are African King phone card from STI. For calling Latin America, try Que Pasa phone card from STI. For Philippines try Seven Seas (7 Seas) from Cristel. Cristel also has revamped their USA 1 phone card to be now good for calling USA, Mexico, and many international destinations. Clifton Telecard Alliance (CTA)has several new phone cards including Perfect phone card which is a good Philippines calling card also good for many international calling card destinatons. CTA has also introduced Rubi, and Africa Beast.
