How to Make International Calls on your Mobile Without Using Minutes

People who need to constantly make international phone calls have it tough. Not only do they have to find a reliable service with cheap rates and no hidden fees, but they also lose precious cell phone minutes on top of paying international call rates when they call from a cell phone. And let’s be honest, in this day and age, who doesn’t make most of their calls from a cell phone?


Luckily for you international callers, at StanaCard we are always on the lookout for ways to make our customers lives easier. The newest money saving tip that we have come up with applies directly to those making international calls on their cell phone.

Many of the most popular cellular providers today have some type of plan that allows you to call your top 5 or 10 contacts without using minutes. These plans, such as AT&T’s A-list plan, Verizon’s Friends and Family plan, or T-Mobiles old MyFaves plan that many people still have, allow you to enter any domestic cell or landline number as one of your top contacts.

If you are a StanaCard customer who frequently calls a certain SmartDial contact, you can add the SmartDial number as one of your favorite contacts, and make international calls from your cell phone without even using minutes! All you will have to pay are StanaCard’s low rates.

Your mobile company will not even realize that the number you are adding as a favorite is a number that forwards internationally. This is yet another feature that sets StanaCard about the rest when it comes to making international calls.
