I was always pleased with www.idt.net and their Global Calling Cards (not the 'Penny-Talk). I think the Morocco rates vary from 18 to 26 cents depending on where/what you are calling, but the service is faboo. You really get your money's worth. Not the cheapest of all rates, but I never lost a cent for bad connections, rounding fees, etc.

Ok, another moronic question from the technologically impaired.... If I have a Verizon plan, can I still use a phone card???? I pay like 5.00 a month to get .50 a minute to Morocco. And where do you get the phone cards? Thanks, Debbie

Yes. You just dial the card's 800 access number from your cell or any phone (even VOIP-type). You'll use up cell minutes, but its not considered an overseas call, so no extra charges (unless you have a crappy plan). It just a regular ol phone call to dial the access number. For IDT, you just sign up on the website, choose your own account number and you can even print a card from there. One of the other good things about IDT is that you dont have to buy a new card, you just recharge the old one.

I've done some quick research on all listed above and the one that seems best is www.tel3advantage.com -- no weekly fee and free minutes for one thing, also low per minute rate 26 to cell phone casa. Also has a cool access feature where if you cannot connect one way you just hit a couple buttons to try other access, also two key speed dialing. Billed in one minute increments, not 3 or more. No hidden charges, they say. Pin free dialing. Check it out.

I think the real plus of tel3advantage is you are left with a phone record, there are othe card out there but I like this feature and it is reasonable not the cheapest but if you have problems they will correct them, I have wasted a ton of minutes on phone cards that seem to just eat the minutes and give you nothing close to what they claim.

There is a little shop next door that sells these cards "Africa Choice". We get about 25 minutes to a mobile phone in Morocco with the $5 card. The best thing about these cards is 99% of the time we get a good connection. Of the dozens I have bought over the last two years I have only "wasted" about 2-3 cars trying to get connected.
