Where can I buy a Calling Card?

[Jotaru]

Looking to buy a calling card to call Greece without costing a billion dollars a minute... figured Walmart would have them but unable to find All I found are phone cards to add minutes on to cell phones or whatnot. Online I find some places that charge as little as 2c a minute and can buy in increments as low as 500 minutes ($10) as I'd rather not spend $50 on a card I'll only need for another week... but I'd rather not buy online.

Any idears on what sorts of stores might carry these? Generally I'm pretty good at the intarwebs but can't find

I recall radioshack selling some kind of cards like the one you're looking for, might be worth taking a look.

i've bought them at gas station stores and grocery stores in the past. hope that helps.

ethnic stores also. like asian groceries work well too

[Jotaru]

Yeah its a PITA because Walmart and such doesnt seem to have them, and I'm in a town dominated by Walmart / Target / etc and they don't seem to have them, so it makes 'grocery store' option kinda difficult

Yup. Any kind of grocery store that sells foreign food will typically carry a card (or many cards) like the one you need. The Mexican grocery stores over here sell a bunch of them. Gas stations also sell calling cards, but the rates get raped if you use them on a pay phone.

The biggest problem I've discovered is that its only 2c a minute to call Greece... but like 15-30c a minute to call a Greek cell. And just my luck, the number is a cell. /sigh

Either way still have to find one. grr

this, really. never ever pay for an international call (or any call) while you have an internet connection.

Rebtel

I use Rebtel to call to the Dominican Republic, and only get charged about 6.9 US cents a minute, which is not bad at all, then again you don't wanna use the interwebs so :/

Don't use Wal-Mart calling cards. I paid $25 for a card that supposedly gave me 1,000 minutes, and only gave me 20 minutes >_>' Go to your local gas station, they usually have calling cards for as low as $2 USD.

You still pay? Even for domestic calls, if its to a phone.

Greece - Mobile - Cosmote $ 0.230 $ 0.265

That's with Skype, which is actually more than the calling card I bought.

You do skype to skype, not skype to phone
