Question by SerenitySmile: International cell phone or phone card (which is better)?
My friend and I plan on using some means of communication to our families while we’re in France. We’ll be gone for 2 weeks.

Is it more worth it to buy a phone card or a cheap international cell phone (we were going to split the $ 70 bill for it)

The calling rates on landline are cheaper than on cellphones that why whenever you call from landline you get more time than on a cell phone.http://cheap-callingcards.nikenya.com/cheap-calling-Cards-top

i rented the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 vr (MSRP 00) from adorama for total for 24 hours. not a bad deal, imho.

i had read alot of security not allowing zoom/large/slr lenses in this venue, so i planned/executed this following scheme.

i walked in alone without my wife & friends. i carried my d80 body only & small 35mmf20 lens. removed the SD card, stuck in 5th pocket. gave one battery to friend, one to wife. gave huge 70-200vr to wife (she is pretty- security guards let her get away with more, i have found).

as i walked in, one security said, wait, its a large camera. he called over another guard, who said, nah, only "large" lenses are not allowed. they didnt even check my wife’s bag.

when the band finally started playing, and it got dark, i reached down and pulled out my 70-200. it was huge. i didnt have a chance to practice before the show, so it got some getting used to, but, overall, i was happy with it. i was in the center of the crowd.

around 30 minutes into the show, a huge (!!!) security guard grabbed me, said in my ear "you will put away that professional camera right now!" i said "ok", and tried to enjoy the rest of the show

overall, i think its a dumb rule. simply b/c the method the (un-knowledgeable) guards use is simply based on size. so once DSLRs shrink, it will be ok? or all cameras will not be allowed? or P&Ss in the front row should be allowed?

Question by CRAFTEE: Where can I find international phone cards without buying them online?
I don’t like buying stuff online. I searched for cheap international phone cards but I dunno how to find a store that actually sells them.

Best answer:

Answer by toto
Can’t you find them at your local mom and pop store ? – assuming you are living in the US -…or places where they sell cigarettes, candies, magazines. That is where I always buy them.

Question by A. Snook: Best international calling card/phone plan to South America?
So far I’ve been ripped off by Phone Card Smile and a few others that tell me I can call Ecuador for $ .10/minute, but then what it turns out to be is… NOT! So, does anyone know of any reliable, fairly inexpensive calling cards or phone plans for calling Ecuador from the U.S.?

Best answer:

Answer by sunnysea
Calling from USA to Ecuador, the best rate is 8.6 cents / min with maintenance fee, or 11.8 cents / min without maintenance fee.

try http://www.eecalling.com/p/?id_from_country=182&idcountry=213 to compare and find the best calling card. All cards don’t have connection fee.

good luck.
