Are there any surcharges to use my calling
card?
Most of the carriers on our site do not place surcharges on calling card calls
made from regular phones. However, nearly all of the carriers on our site place a
surcharge on calling card calls made from payphones. Please refer to individual
plan details for more specific company and plan information.

How safe is it to use calling cards?
Calling cards are generally safe to use and come in handy when calling from
virtually anywhere. To avoid unlawful use, a personal pin number is assigned to the
card and must be entered by the caller before a call can be made. It is also not
uncommon for your calling card carrier to verify charges with you if sudden changes
in your calling habits are noticed.
