Calling card question

[Ochili 21]

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a good calling card and/or service provider for calling the US from South Africa? One that we could actually obtain phone records from later. Thanks in advance.

You can use something called startalk you dial a local number and then dial the us number, I was in Durban and the number was 031-0000035.

Rebtel (www.rebtel.com) is a great site to use. You can even make free calls using their smart call system. We have been using it for about a year now. We always used the smart calls to call between US and UK. It works for any country that is registered with Rebtel. I check South Africa. You should be able to make free calls as well. (You can use your cell phone or home phone)

Ditto for Rebel! Great service.

Also ask your SO to check to see if your incoming calls show up on their cell phone bill. You don't need long expensive calls from your end you just need to show regular contact. Also try to download or email the sms' to yourself and print them out from time to time to use as proof.

Oh, ask your SO to look into sending you Magic Jack if your internet connection is good, (pre-register it with a local US number before its sent to SA). Then using the Magic Jack/internet you call the local US number. It will be US to US. I have heard this works and MJ keeps a call log.
