How many of you use, prepaid calling cards for your phone?

I was just wondering a little bit about these. I know you can buy them at any grocery or convenience store. I was just wondering if it works out to be cheaper than having a plan or using pay as you go? Is it a hassle to have to remember to buy them?

Can you use those on cell phones? I thought those prepaid cards at the grocery and convenience store were for home phones, unless they're the ones that are especially for tracfone or something.

Nope, these ones are actually for your cell phone, its like extra minutes or so. I am in Canada, maybe they don't have them in the US. I find we are always a little behind you guys with stuff. Maybe we will catch up one day and have great plans with roll over minutes, free nationwide calling. etc etc.

Hm. I don't think something like this interests me. I guess the only benefits would be for long distance calling or over seas? I'm not sure I'd buy it even then.

I'm happy with my service provider, and I don't see myself paying for minutes. I use my phone for strictly business, and it'd be very costly for me to switch over to a calling card type of service.

I am curious though if anyone has any experience with these phones...

My partner uses Pre-paid & my phone is on a plan I would say we basically break even sometimes he spends more buth othertimes I do.

well i am a college student and talks a lot on phone..i was having Postpaid coonection 1 month ago but i was getting gr8 bills so this month i switched to prepaid coonection n it proved cheaper for me .. my bill now is under my control

my MIL uses them, but she only keeps the phone for emergencies and the like, so... it's working for her!

I use Virgin Mobile, which is completely pay-as-you-go - it works for me, because I'm not dependent on my cell phone. It's also great for doling out the minutes to the teens in my house - I'll pay for one top-up a month to keep the phone on. They want to talk more, they have to come up with the cash for their own minutes.

Seriously, if you're careful with the subscription phone plans (Cingular and the rest) it'll cost you a heck of a lot less in the long run. There's nothing worse than being mid-conversation with something /really/ important... and running out of minutes. It's worse than running out of power.

I will use if i have it ..

I think pay as you go is much mroe expensive, but you have the benefit of not being stuck in a contract, and only paying for the minutes you use although tehy are seriously overpriced.
