Cheap International Calling Rate International Phone Rates Calling internationally using your cell phone will be expensive. You will likely pay well over $1.00 per minute calling to or from most European countries. When you are travelling, you will do much better using an international calling card. Rates from Germany, the United Kingdom and most other countries to the US are less than 20 cents per minute. When you are home, there are many low cost options including direct dial, dial-arounds, calling cards, and Voice over IP (Internet phone). But, watch out some calling cards that have extra charges. Some cards have an expiration date. Funds left on an expired card are lost. Some cards have a maintenance fee. Some maintenance fees are charged weekly, some monthly. This essentially increases the effective per minute rates. Some cards are pre-paid and cannot be "re-charged". This means that some amount of money left on a card cannot be used because you would not have enough left for a good conversation. Our international providers have no extra charges. See your savings now. Why Low Rates? Modern long distance communications networks are so efficient that they have lots of unused capacity.
