Calling to a cellphone will be more expensive than calling a land line. But calling card is quite cheap.

Calling from USA cellphone to UK cellphone, the best rate is 11.9 cents / min with maintenance fee, or 13.5 cents / min without maintenance fee.

Check http://www.eecalling.com/p/?id_from_country=182&idcountry=262 to compare and find the best calling cards for you.

Question by Randy N: Does anyone know who has the best international phone card rates without all the extra fees?
I use phonecardsavenue.com. There cheapest is 4.3 cents a minute to call a cellphone in South Africa. That you get 432 minutes, but there are all these fees. I actually only get 160 minutes. There has got to be some better deals out there. My wife lives in South Africa and I am waiting for her paperwork to go thru, but I need a cheaper phone card. We talk about 3 times a week. I can’t afford to keep shelling out $ 20 a shot and not get my money’s worth. I have a land line, but she has a cellphone. I call her because it is way to expensive for her to call me.

Try idphonecard.

I’ve used them and they don’t have any hidden rates. Their minutes do expire after 6 months or a year, but if you are talking to your wife I am sure you’ll use the time up before then.

Question by angel xx: I got a prepaid phone card for anywhere in the US and?

Answer by lorena s
for cell phones any prepaid anything it will deduct out of you account so if you have 15 dollars and you have a plan and you call during the day it will take out your daytime minutes plus the cards rate. So yes since you used your phone you will get charged for the minutes

now if you have a prepaid cell phone you will get charged too but lets say you have att and you call another att customer the call will be free since att has free att to att. i work at a cell phone store

Question by Melinda: When calling a cell phone using an international calling card, does the cell phone get charged for the call?
I’m visiting Barcelona and will be making calls from landlines to cell phones using the card. I’m the only one who gets charged for the calls?

Answer by Sarah
It depends on the person’s cell phone that you’re calling. If you’re calling someone with a cell phone in Spain, that person will not be charged, because in Europe cell phones are not charged for incoming calls. If you’re calling someone in the US with a cellphone, then that person will be charged regular airtime minutes, becuase in the US cell phones are charged by the minute, whether you are the one making the call or receiving it. This would get more complicated if the person you were calling in Spain was using an American cell phone (i.e. they were someone who lives in America but visiting Spain). Then I don’t know — that person would need to find out from their cell phone company what the charges are for making/receiving calls while out of the country.

Answer by dkyang258
Just like land line phones. You won’t get charged unless you initiated the international call. So all you’re getting charged with are the minutes on your plan.
