If a U.S. soldier wants to receive calls from his wife as often as he wants, he can buy them an online calling card. Using prepaid international calling cards, any family member can call to Afghanistan for as low as $0.055/min rate. It means that to talk 20 minutes with his family every evening, he’ll only pay $33 per month (that’s 16 times less, than when using an US land line).

One can by lots of cheap calling cards – there are “heavy” callers who spend circa $800 a month buying online calling cards, which is 10,320 minutes calling to a land line which sounds convincing.

Other carriers in mind you’re used to? To call to a land line in Iraq would cost $9391.20 with Verizon. Savings up to $8591 per month, $103,092 savings a year - just recharge your calling card online via ComFi.com.

Or you can activate the autorefill service - each time you run low on a balance, the card is automatically refreshed and no need to have access to the Internet. Calling to a cell phone to the city of Basra via Skype telephony? Losing up to $1342 per month in comparison to the low rates of calling card Afghanistan, not to mention the quality, which is equal at the least.
