<p>When calleasy doesn&#8217;t recognise your number, you&#8217;ll be asked for your personal code which you have received when you registered. This can be found in your account.</p>
<p>The advantage of Calleasy is how simple it is to add credits to your account everytime whereas for calling cards, you have to purchase a new card every time it runs out of credits.<!--:--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--:en-->This is a step-by-step approach to help you choose the best calling card for you.</p>
<p>1. Research the card of interest to you. Before purchasing, it is a good idea to check out the &#8220;details&#8221; link next to the card of your choice.</p>
<p>2. Study the rate offered.  When you choose a very cheap prepaid phone card, it is usually associated with more hidden charges. You need to pay attention to several common hidden charges, or the card can turn out to be a lot more expensive than you bargained for. Following are the common hidden costs you need to look for:</p>
<ul>
<li> 
<ul>
<li>Connection Fee: Also called first-minute surcharge. A connection fee is the additional fee imposed by the telephone company every time you use your phonecard to make a call. It varies between 25 cents to as high as $3. Connection fees add tremendously to the per minute cost of the call. If you encounter a call drop and have to redial the number you will be charged connection fee all over again.</li>
<li>Disconnection Fees: Be wary of disconnection fees, which works pretty much the same way as connection fees but are charged when you hang up. Also known as hang up fees.</li>
<li>Maintenance Fee: Maintenance fees are deducted from your card without you even making a call! These fees are assessed on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. Some phone cards will start to charge a maintenance fee either when the first phone call is connected or after the first phone call is finished. It could be as high as $1.50, so check it out, too.</li>
<li>Communication Fee: Certain phone cards charge a communication fee up to 25% of the phone call&#8217;s cost.This makes the rates to be 25% more expensive in reality. The advertised total minutes looks more attractive because this fee is usually applied after the call is finished</li>
<li>Long Talking Fee: Certain phone cards charge this fee that&#8217;s rarely known to lots of customers. If the customer talked for more than 20 mins, 40 cents will be charged for every 20 minutes talking time. This equals to 2 cents more per minute.</li>
<li>Multiple Minute Rounding: Multiple minute rounding means you pay for more minutes that you actually spoke.  For example, if you spoke for 6 minutes, some cards will charge you based on &#8220;5 minute rounding&#8221; and charge you for a 10-minute call! This brings your effective rate per minute up, because you must calculate paying for those added minutes that you did not use! Industry standard is one minute rounding, as in the case of your residential telephone services.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>3. Consider the expiration period; this can very between 1 month and 1 year.</p>
<p>4. Consider where you are calling to. Most of the calling cards offer differential rates for different cities. Also they have different rates for calling to a landline or calling to a wireless (mobile) phone. You would often find people carrying 5-6 calling cards on them to call to different cities .<!--:--></p>
