What is a prepaid phone card and how does it work?
Prepaid phone cards is a service provided by various telecom companies that sell their service in advanced. When you buy a prepaid phone card from CallingSuperstore.com, you are paying for long distance connection time in advance. When you make calls using the phone card, the card's value is deducted based on connection fee, duration of connection, surcharges and any maintenance charges associated with the phone card.
What's the difference between prepaid phone cards, phone cards, prepaid calling cards, calling cards, long distance phone cards?
They refer to the same thing; prepaid long distance service from telecom companies that produces these cards. You pay for your long distance service in advance. You do not have to pay for any monthly fees, sign up fees or need to sign a contract. This kind of long distance service is getting more and more popular because the rates are decreasing faster in this area than in a post long distance service.
What's the difference between local access number and toll-free access number?
Toll-free numbers (1-800; 1-888. 1-866) can be used anywhere in USA and they are free of charge. Local access numbers are numbers in a specific area. For example in Seattle they are 206-xxx-xxxx. If you use local access numbers - the rate usually will be better than with toll-free number. So if you have available local access number in your area use it and have the best rate. If you have mobile phone and your plan allows you to call anywhere in USA without any additional charges - you can use any local access number even it is not in your town.
Be careful when using local access numbers.
Some local telephone companies charge for local calls that are outside of your selected calling plan. If you are not sure that an access number is within your calling plan, contact your local telephone company. You are responsible for all charges associated with connecting to card through an available service number.

How do I use a phone card?

You will then hear another message stating the value that remains on that specific pin. Next, dial the destination telephone number.

My phone card says Invalid after entering the PIN given. What do I do?
Calling card manufacturers usually change access numbers when they change carriers. The result is that they have some batch of cards with the old access number and some new batch with the new access numbers. Sometimes even up to 3 access numbers. Thus, causing PINs to be invalid when using a wrong different access number. Please make sure to try ALL the access numbers that were given to you before contacting us. Most of the time, "Invalid PIN problem" is caused by using a wrong access number. However, if you tried all the access numbers and still not working, please do not hesistate to contact us right away.
What should I do if I have a problem using my phone card?
The best thing to do is to call the customer service number we provide with your pin. This toll free number connects you to the service department at the company that controls the access number and value of the pins for their phone card. However, if you do not receive a proper attention, please feel free to give us a call.
What is a connection fee and when is it charged?
For phone cards with connection fee (we state clearly if a phone card has a connection fee.), connection fee is charged anytime there is a connection, even if the connection is made to a wrong number, an answering device, or voice mail. The connection fee reduces the available minutes on the card. There is no connection fee charged if there is no answer. If your card is wrongly deducted for a call that did not go through, please contact the customer service of the phone card. They should be able to credit back the connection fee to your phone card.
How long will my phone card last?
Phone cards should be used within 90 days of first use, or 90 days of purchase whichever comes first, unless otherwise stated .
How are rates and minutes computed?
The usable minutes are determined by deducting the connection fee from the face value of the card, and dividing the result by the rate per minute. All minutes shown are based on only one call and one connection fee. Please look at the poster posted for each card (can be found in the phone card's details page) for most accurate minutes/rates.
Why do you calculate available minutes based on one call?
This is a convention adopted by the phone card companies to make it easy to compare various cards total connect times.

No any additional charges

Are the rates any different if a cell phone is used in the call?
Yes. Calls made to cell phones are priced at a higher rate due to the extra technology involved in completing the connection.
When does a call connect?
All pins are computer recorded. The actual call begins 30-45 seconds after the connection RING, not when there is an ANSWER. If you do not get an answer in the first 30-45 seconds, after the first ring Please hang-up and call again.
