Posted: Dec 28, 2010 |

With mobile phone usage on the increase ever year more and more consumers are relying on prepaid international phone cards for making low cost overseas phone calls. It is after all much cheaper than a mobile phone carrier's service plan. But new prepaid phone card buyers are typically apprehensive about which companies to buy from. Here we'll explore which companies to trust and which to totally avoid.

Worst Prepaid Phone Card Companies of the Year:

  1. Seniorita International - Established just recently in 2009 and has since garnered the most complaints for non working products.

  2. Ivory Cost Prepaid Calling Card - Claims of 24/7 customer service are false as well as the advertised minutes.

  3. Russia Supreme International - Once a very well known brand of calling cards but today its quality and service has drastically declined.

There is one commonality amongst bogus companies offering false advertised minutes. And that is they are sold in small grocery stores in ethnic neighborhoods. The consumers of these worthless cards are usually folks with limited English skills and limited means of recourse. Thus these companies typically prey on those who really need to make reliable international phone calls.

Best Prepaid Phone Card Companies of the Year:

  1. Nobelcom - With over a decade of experience in the industry Nobelcom is a very well known and trusted company to purchase from. Their products are not the cheapest, yet the call per minute rates for their products are overall competetive. However, if you purchase a phone card from Nobelcom you can rest assure that it works and if you ever need help their reliable 24/7 customer service is available.

  2. Speedy Pin - Another well known company with a strong reputation for quality and reliability. Their 100% guarantee sets them apart from their competitors.

  3. Pingo - This company provides international services to major telecommunications corporations. Their dependability and customer service is their major strong points.

All of the best prepaid phone card companies today are found on the Internet. So in order to purchase one you will need a credit card, which is a benefit. Major credit card companies offer better consumer protection and settle disputes if one such arises. A few companies such as Nobelcom and Speedy Pin accept PayPal transactions too.

So if you plan on buying a prepaid calling cards make sure you pay for it with credit card instead of cash.
