What is the best internatiol calling card to use for calls from US home phones to a cell phone in rural Kenya?

I have made a few calls on a Geo-Africa calling card that states,for example, 1 hr 11 minutes available, but I get cut off after only 40 minutes stating time had expired. This drives the rate from a published 14.5 cents/minute to over 25 cents/min. Is there a more reliable card?

Most of these cards have small print such as:


(i)3 minute rounding off


(ii) Bi-weekly maintenance fee


(iii)Higher rate for cell phone or calling 1-800 access number as opposed to local access #s


(iv) Thes biz are not regulated, so they cheat and get away with it


(v) Connection fee


(vi) Depends also on location and whether the card is meant for a different location





Anyway, here are some of the best ways forward (in order of preference):





(i) Get skype has not too low but very very clear calls


(ii)Try these cards


(a) bestpricedcards.com (pick one of the "Best to call, no fee")


(ii)Phonecardsonsale.com, select no fee ones


(iii) Caribone.com





Best idea is not to always use one card: after they know (i think) that you are loyal, the level of service suddenly deteriotes
Reply:Look at Nobelcom http://www.nvcards.com/ or SpeedyPin http://www.primevote.com/SpeedyPin.htm. Both offer great quality at low rates.
Reply:The rate calling to cellphone is different, usually higher.


Check out the following calling cellphone rates:

18.7 cents/min. with maintenance fee, and 19.9 cents/min. without maintenance fee, all for cellphone. If it is not to call cellphone, much cheaper.
