If you tend to make long distance calls from home or even from your mobile phone you might be interested in getting some cheap prepaid calling cards online from a company called Pingo.
Pingo has particularly good rates for cell phone users. Looking at the rates it’s actually much cheaper to use a Pingo calling card than to simply dial a long distance call using your cell phone provider. You can save up to 90% on your long distance mobile calls.
We don’t even like to get long distance calls on our cell phone because of the roaming charges. Our cell phone provider seems to charge us for everything and we can’t do much about it since we still have a contract with them. Now that I know how much cheaper it is to use a Pingo calling card for my cell phone long distance calls I think I’ll give it a try. Really, the rates are very good. See the rates in the links I’ve just listed to see what I mean.
Another bonus, when you sign up with Pingo you’ll get up to four hours worth of free international calls.
We don’t make a lot of long distance calls. I’d say that most of our long distance calls these days are to the United States. United States calling card rates are quite low. 1.8 cents per minute seems to be the going rate, and that’s quite a contrast to the 20 cents per minute that we pay when we call using our home telephone line through our telephone company.
Check it out for yourself. I’m sure you’ll save some money.
