LOCAL CALLING CARDS.

There are two kinds of calling cards which are available in most part of the world. For example in Sri Lanka there are local phone call cards and International calling cards. These cards are small in size and looks like a credit card. Srilanka calling cards can call both the local and the international calls any time through any public phones. These phone cards can be purchased from communication centers, post offices, telephone exchanges and small shops according to your need. Normally these phone cards are marked with their prices and used to come in small sealed plain plastic bags. They will not be marked with the calling minutes as it may vary with the peak or off peak time. Normally Sundays and holidays will give you more talking time in most of the countries all over the world except the Arab countries where Friday is holiday.

Every time you insert the phone card according to instruction, the magnet bar or the computer chip will show you the available or remaining money in the card. Once you start to talk the money will get reduced according to the nature of the call. You can watch the remaining money in the digital counter on the phone.
As a caller you must know that making a call to mobile phone or CDMA or to the satellite phone will be costly one than calling any fixed line with a land line connection.

Before you insert the card in to the public phone read the instruction printed on the card carefully. If you are going to make a call for a long time with two calling cards, then you have the option of inserting the second card before the first card going to finish its money value. Once the first card is going to finish you will hear a warning signal while you are talking. With out stop talking you can press the continue button and remove the first card and insert the second card. It will give your more minutes than cutting the call and making a new call connection.

After making the calls don't forget to remove the card and to keep it in a safe place for future use, if the phone card got enough calling money.
