Best company/phonecard for international phonecalls?

theblackrose

Hi all

I am wondering if anyone knows what the best thing to use for international phonecalls is? My mother lives in Zimbabwe and I usually buy the post office phonecards to ring her but I have been told there are cheaper things to use? I have seen Firstnumbers advertised but am not sure about them. I would really appreciate a bit of help on this. Sadly Skpye is not possible as she only has very limited internet at work meaning we are also unable to chat on any messenger type thing. Thank you in advance for any help

Try "Connect" cards. I don't know their charges to Zimbabwe, but at least they charge no daily maintenance. Not all that easy to find, though, and I've no idea if you can do that online (if you have any online success, do post how--I'd like to do the same

I didn't think anyone used phonecards any longer and I have no idea of the sort of prices they charge.

However, I'm pretty sure the MSE International CallChecker will provider numerous, probably cheaper, ways to call Zimbabwe (see HERE) and, more importantly, most don't involve paying unnecessarily large amounts in advance.

Sorry have taken so long to get back, it has been a busy few days! Thanks for all your help, I will have a look. Yes I will look for the connect one and let you know if I find anything .
Actually a lot of people still use phonecards mainly because it was an easier option but I am now starting to see cheaper ways!
