Calling cards to use in Iraq?

My husband just left for iraq but called me from maine germany and kuwait and he called his dad once...so by the time he got to iraq i think he had used up his 100 minutes. He didnt call when a couple of my friends got calls from their husbands :(


But, what I need to know is which calling cards are the best to send over there?


Thanks.

Calling cards to use in Iraq?
My husband and I have been through this and with all of our searching and trying to save money, the best ones wind up being the ones in the Px/Shoppette. Get one and you take down botht eh 800 number to call for refills and the pin. This is the best way cause refilling it is a matter of a call or can be reset to fill when minutes need replaced. I used a Sams' card at first ( really its the same retailer) but to refill the card was an additional 8.00 fee- you pay more for the minutes through AAFES but the refill charge is less, I promise I am a bargain hunter and this is the best I have come by- other then having him buy an Iraqui phone and getting a special phone plan to call that country.
Reply:The VFW has calling cards they will send to your husband free, they will send one a month. Go to their website and give them his address. I researched this for my son and it is a tough one. Cell phone minutes are insane. An enterprising company would donate minutes or give reduced rates to deployed soldiers don't you think? Anyway try VFW and if you find anymore good ones let me know OK?

Reply:I read on a military website, that AT%26amp;T are the only calling cards that will work as AT%26amp;T provides all of the connections and equipment that is in use over seas.





I know that my step-mom only sends AT%26amp;T cards to my brother who is overseas.





Try looking on the DoD website.

Reply:Next time you speak with your husband tell him to dial 809-463-3376 from a DSN phone(he will know what you are talking about) after he dials this number he will get a dial tone. From there he can dial the 1800 number on the calling card. If he does this he will be charged the same minutes that he would be charged for making a state to state call and not the outrageous minutes he would be charged at the ATT calling center.
Reply:Spawar is the BEST...my husband has been in Iraq for 13 months and that all he uses, 4 cents a minute to call home.
