With CardSaver, you will be able to generate an
unlimited quantity of calling cards. CardSaver will export these
cards to a comma delimited flat file which can be given to a card
printer. When searching for a company to print your calling cards,
there are few factors to consider: price, quality, and services
offered.
Price
When selecting long distance providers for your
calling card system, it is usually best to select multiple
carriers. Most calling card companies provide service to almost
anywhere in the world, but focus on a particular region of the
world. For this reason, it is best to have an A-Z long distance
provider that can send your calls to anywhere in the world and also
a regional long distance provider that focuses only on the region of
the world that you are targeting. Although A-Z providers are
convenient, their rates are usually higher than regional
specialists. If you wish to have the best of both Worlds,
convenience and low rates, you can become a member of Arbinet (www.arbinet.com),
which is an exchange of long distance providers and companies that
are originating calls. Presently, the Arbinet membership fee is
approximately $1,500. The links below are long distance providers
you can consider:

When searching for a long distance company, there
are four major factors to consider: price, quality, reliability, and
capacity.
Price
Just as in any other business, the idea is to buy
low and sell high. Do your homework before selecting a carrier.
Often, the price per minute will differ depending on which city you
are calling. For example, calling Lagos, Nigeria is 3 cents per
minute, while calling Abuja is 8 cents. Also, for many countries,
mobile phone charges will be significantly higher than land line
charges. For example, calling any land line in the United Kingdom
may cost 1 cent per minute, but calling a mobile phone can cost
upward of 25 cents per minute. Visit the sites listed above to get
an idea of what rates are available. |
