Calling cards and phone booths?

Answers:

Most calling cards work from telephone booths. That%26#39;s why they were designed in the first place- for people on the go so that they would not have to carry pocket change.

Be aware that there is usually a surcharge for using the card from a payphone. It%26#39;s to reimburse the payphone owner/company for the use of their phone.

Check with your local phone comany. Many of them can send you a card that allows you to make calls and bills you later on your local phone bill. Ask the rates. Otherwise, you%26#39;ll need to buy pre-paid cards, and they can get used up very quickly. you can use it at a phone booth if you are going to use a phone booth, make sure your calling card has a toll free number..

but... if you are going to use a calling card from a phone where you have free local calling (perhaps the hotel allows free local calling) then you can get a calling card with a local access number... cards with local access numbers are usually cheaper then cards with toll free access numbers.. Try this http://www.phonebell.net/ Virtually all prepaid phone cards charge a pay-phone fee. Consider this fee when comparing cards. This fee will be charged for each call you make, so consider buying a smaller denomination to allow you to use the card in one call, thus avoiding any additional fees the carrier might assess when you hang up. definately

most cards allow call from booth
