I know this topic looks like the other phone card question. But i am actually in china with my fiancee and will be for the duration. I am teaching english and loving it, its quite fun. I would like to talk with my family back home. i do what I can online but many of my friends and family don't have the internet at home and my internet here is slow, so online communication is out of the question.

So what I am looking for is the best calling card or phone card
from china to usa

i have seen several cheap ones from the usa to china, like 2 or 3 cents a minute. The cheapets i have found from chiina to the usa is like 16cents a minute.

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks,
Randy

You could ask your girlfriend to check Taobao online store.There are some IP phone cards are cheap.I spent 32RMB to get a 200RMB card.2.4RMB per minute.So 0.39RMB per minute.I think that is the cheapest IP phone cards in china.Good luck.

That is awesome!


I like it, I wonder if I can call use that phone card from my cell. Do you think it would be a local number from my phone hear in nanning?

I got my girlfriend on the site looking at them now.
Once again I appreciate your help.

I felt like using the smilies today!

Unfortunately the card I told you that only works in Beijing.You have to find a card that will work for all over China.I saw the cheapest one is 100RMB IP card,you have to pay 24RMB. 2.4RMB per minute.You could use the IP card number to call by your cell phone.It will also charge of the local phone fee.Hope it will help.

Thanks for the info, could you send me the link?
Once again, thanks for letting me know about IP phone cards, I am going to buy one. How do you pay for them, i didnt see any visa or paypal symbols. My gf said we need to set it up through the bank or post office or something, seems very confusing!

You're welcome.I paid my IP card by my bank card.I just went to the bank and sent money to the store owner's bank account.To be safe,your girlfriend could click "buy now" on the site and then she could get information about the store owner and how to contact the owner.I don't remember the link,you could ask your girlfriend to search on 淘宝 taobao site.There are a lot of IP stores there.You could choose the cheapest one.
