Anyone who has ever had to place a call overseas to India knows how expensive it can be to stay in touch with loved ones or with business contacts there. Many private consumers turn to traditional phone cards, while businesses have turned to traditional landline or cell phone companies.
The problem with cheap phone cards is that they are never as cheap as they claim, because they have lots of hidden charges in the form of connection fees, deactivation fees and even local access fees that they dont tell you about. Furthermore, they are difficult to use because you have to dial so many digits: access number followed by pin number, and then the international phone number you want to connect with. If you dont get through, you could end up dialing 40 digits five times! Then theyll disconnect you in the middle of your conversation without warning, or the voice quality will be horrible if you are calling somewhere in India with uneven PSTN coverage.
