Make That Call Home With A Phone Card
By Christopher Luck
If you are an immigrant or naturalized citizen
of the United States, but from the Philippines,
what is the best way for you to call home
without breaking the bank? Most of my Philippine
friends and acquaintances have found that
a Philippine phone card can be the best answer.
Calling overseas to anywhere is not a cheap
thing to do, with prices running up as high
as a dollar or two per minute. There has to
be a better way, then, right?
A Philippine phone card is really the
best answer. Phone companies produce the
phone cards with lower minute rates because
you are paying up front for the time.
Since they have their money in advance,
the per minute price on a Philippine phone
card is really more reasonable than with
anything else. They are offered through
a variety of companies and service providers,
but most are fine since you are going
through a Philippine phone card instead
of a phone plan.
So where do you find a Philippine phone
card? Well, the best place to start off
is like with most anything else these
days: the internet. There, you will find
a number of Philippine phone cards available
for purchase. Use your favorite search
engine to search for them. Your other
option is to just look for international
calling websites or even the websites
of specific phone service providers worldwide.
Take your time and search thoroughly to
make sure you get the best possible price
on your Philippine phone card.
The second good place to look for Philippine
phone cards is at your local stores. Many
Philippine stores or grocery suppliers
will offer Philippine phone card at their
check out line. You may also find them
at gas stations and department stores
located in prominent Philippine neighborhoods.
Ask the clerks as well since sometimes
if they don't have the cards they may
know of another place that might.
Fourth, consider asking friends and family.
If you are from the Philippines, you likely
have friends or family of the same descent
as you. They may be aware of good places
to purchase or order Philippine phone
cards. They will also know where the best
prices are and who offers the best service
on their cards. By talking with friends
and or family you will save yourself a
lot of the research above. That is, assuming
that they did their research.
Being an immigrant is not easy, so it
is important to you to keep in touch with
your friends and family. Simply picking
up your phone and dialing overseas can
cost you a fortune. However, you can always
look into buying a Philippine phone card.
With it you can save yourself a lot of
money.
