phone cards
Company Overview: ComFi Inc. was founded in 1996. They
are a leader in the internet communications industry.
They offer low rate phone cards to consumers, often in a
matter of minutes, via the internet. ComFi also has a
wholesale and distribution program for individuals and
businesses looking to sell their phone cards.
Our Review: ComFi’s website says that most of their
transactions can be completed in under a minute. The
fact that you never have to leave the comfort of home to
purchase a phone card so that you can call your family
and friends is good enough for us. However, they do also
have a great website and customer service section.
User Review: I love ComFi. I used to always run out to
the store to buy phone cards, or even just down the
street to the convenience mart when I needed them fast,
but now I don’t even have to leave my house to purchase
one. Plus, their rates are better than most other phone
cards I’ve used.

Services
Offered: Phone Cards
Company Overview: Spoof Card was created to provide
consumers with low rate phone cards that can also aid
consumers in blocking the call number on caller ID,
disguising voices, and recording calls. They were
founded partly for fun, but also for serious use. The
company is owned by TelTech Communications, which is
located in New Jersey.
Our Review: Whether it’s a gag gift or you’re trying to
be a serious spy, SpoofCard seems like a great product.
The company’s website about this product is very
informative; they even have a demo phone call that you
can receive to sample the product before you buy.
User Review: SpoofCard is great! I bought one to play a
trick on my wife, and she loved it. Now I call with it
all the time when I’m on the road so that my messages
are recorded, so I can hear her voice whenever I want.
And their customer service is great, too. |

cards
Company Overview: Speedy Pin began in 1997 as a small
family owned business, but has since grown to become one
of the largest online phone cards companies. They have
sold over 1 million phone cards to thousands of
customers since they began.
Our Review: Speedy Pin started humble, and their
philosophy has not changed since then. They offer tons
of options for consumers and discounted calling rates.
Their customer service is very helpful and accessible,
while their web site is functional and well designed.
User Review: I bought a phone card a couple of years ago
from Speedy Pin, and it was one of the best decisions
I’ve ever made. I’ve shopped with them since, and never
had any problems. I’ve even referred some of my friends
and they love it too! |

Services
Offered: Phone Cards
Company Overview: Calling Card Plus is one of the
leading online phone card retailers. In addition to
their consumer calling card services, they also offer a
wholesale program for distribution and resale of their
products. They offer some of the lowest rates available
for international calls.
Our Review: This place seems good. Right on their
homepage, they offer a list of all the rates for calls
to different countries. They also offer up customer
service immediately and have many links to phone card
information and frequently asked questions. This company
is at least worth checking out.
User Review: I needed to find a phone card with lower
rates for international calling, because I could barely
afford to call my family when I wanted. I went to
Calling Card Plus, and they had some of the cheapest
rates I’d ever seen; I almost didn’t believe my eyes
when I saw how cheap their minutes were. |

How To Select The Best Company For Phone Cards |
|
Finding the
right phone cards company isn’t really a huge decision,
but will definitely save you some money. In order to
know what you are looking for, you need to be aware of
where you will be using the card, who and where you will
be calling to, and how many minutes you need at the
present moment. Some companies will offer better rates
on calls to certain countries than others, or will have
special rates for their cards, which is why it is good
to know what exactly you’ll be using it for. Also, there
are so many choices out there when it comes to phone
cards that you may feel overwhelmed or confused by all
the options. And no, it isn’t always better to just get
a phone card from one of the major companies. The
service and the actual phone card will not be any
better, and the rates are usually higher. Instead, there
are sites like ComFi and Speedy Pin, who are lesser
known, but always have specials on their phone cards,
along with really low rates for calls. When you are
purchasing phone cards, there’s not really an exact
science to the task. It will basically depend on who
you’re calling, where you’re calling, and how often
you’ll be using the cards. For example, sites like
Calling Card Plus list their rates on their front page,
and for heavy users they offer a discount on purchases
dependent on the amount spent. These little money saving
tips will definitely help you to choose more wisely when
it comes to phone cards. However, if you just need a
phone card and don’t care about the rates or costs, then
you can get a phone cards from just about anywhere.
Ultimately, purchasing phone cards doesn’t have to be
difficult, as long as you know what you need.
