When calling cards had just appeared, they seemed to be the most comfortable and efficient way to call locally and internationally. It is now possible to save significant funds on long distance calls as the rates are significantly lower than those of calls through direct dialing or operators. There are some disadvantages, though, that plastic calling cards including those sold on the Internet have and will likely have in the nearest future. These disadvantages make the process of calling and overall usage a bit uncomfortable. For instance, a PIN code should be entered each time you want to call and mostly often you should buy a new card after you have spent the prepaid minutes on your previous one. Hidden fees are just another pitfall as many calling cards providers do have such features they don't mention in their terms.

The 3longdistance service based on TEL3 platform is the latest advancement in the cheap international and local calls segment. 3longdistance comprises all advantages of the popular prepaid calling cards.

Hidden fees and taxes.
