Are you using a land line or a cell phone? Maybe you can save the phone cards and the phone records and then show the number you dial to use the calling card as proff? Thats all I can think of.

I use 3 different methods-

I print out monthly statements from vonage,

from my cell phone,

and I keep my expired phone cards and make a nice collage :P on a piece of cardboard.

Anyone want to buy a bunch of "used phone cards"?

Not much good for anything!

Especially for proof of calling each other as they don't show the numbers called. Best to get an international provider like AT+T and make short recorded calls and then use the phone cards for the long talks!

I use Nonoh.net for cheap calls to Pakistan. check out the rates. and they keep ur record by minutes and seconds. I just printed out bunch of papers since last year. I know cards are no good. I have about 350 expired cards myself. lolz.

this may be a long shot but if you guys talk to each other through YM voice (which is free service), you can save your recorded calls and just print your YM profile on the yahoo members directory indicating your screename and pic.

actually, i brought a bunch of phone cards with me to me interview which i was never able to use. if that's the only evidence you can provide (with regards to communication), then i suggest bringing it with you. your husband can perhaps draw up a notarized letter of explanation about the phone cards.

i know how you feel. calling using landline costs around P20/min over here, whereas using the phone card would only cost P3/min, plus its per second charging.

Right, in the end, even if the foreign spouse doesn't have access to Yahoo Voice, you can call a land or mobile line in a foreign country with Yahoo Voice call out and that provides good records of numbers called and minutes talked, etc.

Also try things like voip.com or rebtel... their rates are as good as most phone cards, way cheaper than dinosaur POTS telephone carriers like AT&T, and the records are very good.

funny

no, but they make an addition. I'd never depend on them.

Sprint records and vonage. With vonage, you can print out times, date, length of call and to what number.
