Prepaid long distance cards promise a lot of things. Good call quality, being able to call from anywhere, and lots of minutes. Low prices. Promises on paper don’t mean much if they don’t transmit to the phone. That’s one lesson many people have come to learn with prepaid long distance cards.
In truth, there’s a lot to like about calling cards. They offer flexibility, and allow people to connect from different cities and different countries. They bring relatives in different countries together , when they might otherwise not be able to communicate, because transportation and travel costs are just too high. The cards give the chance to call home if a family member goes abroad without having to pay fees to enable a cell phone to work internationally, and then pay the high long distance fees charged by major telephone communications carriers. Those are all major plusses, and part of the reason people still use prepaid long distance cards.

Those people haven’t heard about CallDirek’s pinless service. The service does away with the need for prepaid cards, keeps the benefits of cards and does away with the hassle. Hassle you ask? Yes, prepaid phone cards are prone to hassle. First when buying the card, the cards promise a certain number of minutes. Those minutes don’t take into effect the cost of connection fees, surcharges, and a list of other fees that drain hundreds and thousands of minutes from even the most generous of phone cards. With the fees, prepaid long distance cards that once appeared cheap become costly. Most people deal with them because they are the lesser of two evils.
Once a person goes to make a call, the card lists dozens of numbers, some of which work, some of which won’t. Some of the ones that do work just offer poor quality. Once connected to the call, the fees drain minutes, and when minutes empty, the call disconnects with little warning and opportunity to pay to continue the call, frustrating the persons on each end of the line. There’s the added hassle of having to pay for local calls, which should be free. How many of the promised minutes do most prepaid long distance cards give? Few actually know, but estimates say less than 10 percent.
