Choose Cheap Calling Cards
to India from the USA

Sometimes we need to make some efforts for saving money. So we have to visit a few shops for choosing the cheapest product. The same thing must be with choosing a cheap calling card to India - if we want to save money, of course.

There is not the cheapest phone card in general. That card can be cheap to the UK but not cheap to India. Also, that calling card may be cheap for long calls but not cheap for short ones. That's why we have to make some tests in each case.

You can find cheap calling cards to India with the following simple procedure.

Visit three websites. We can go to more places but then a job will be more too. Enter the names of the USA and India into "Call From - Call To" form and click "Go" on each website, for instance, here:

A table of cards sorted according to per-minute rates will be shown. Choose the two cheapest calling cards. We can take more cards but then a job will be more too.

The result of our visits is shown below.

Company	Calling card	Advertised rate, ¢/min
Comfi.com	Lucky Minutes	1.7
	Jupiter	1.9
CallingCards.com	Asia Express	1.5
	Dragon Plus	1.7
Pingo.com	Pingo*	1.95

* Pingo company sell the phone card of the only one name

Then we need some details of each card - maintenance fee, connection fee, service fee and others. Take them at a detail page.

Let things take their course. The next step - to load all these figures into the Calling Card Minutes Calculator - for each chosen phone card separately. It's important that our individual manner of calling is taken into account here. Let's say we're going to consume our card for $20 not longer than one week. The average length of a phone call will be 10 minutes.

Then the tool will return us the values of effective per-minute rates to India from USA:

• Asia Express - 2.05¢
• Pingo - 2.15¢
• Jupiter - 2.19¢
• Dragon Plus - 2.3¢
• Lucky Minutes - 4.43¢

Look at the Lucky Minutes phone card again and compare the advertised rate of 1.7 ¢/min with the effective rate of 4.43 ¢/min. Do you see the difference? That's just the point. That's why you don't want to base your decisions on the advertised figures.

As we can see the Asia Express is the cheapest calling card to India from the USA out of the tested five cards.
