With no monthly fees, AT&T phone cards provide your company with great connections while you're holding minutes that never expire. Consider the following before you determine whether or not AT&T phone cards are the right fit for your business:

2. Locate where to buy AT&T calling cards.

3. Purchase your AT&T prepaid phone cards in bulk.

 

Get the most out of your AT&T prepaid calling cards

If your employees travel extensively, look to cut phone costs by providing your staff with AT&T domestic calling cards. This eliminates hotel surcharges and cuts down on excessive cell phone bills. Also, if your business hasn't signed up for any sort of international calling plan, look into AT&T international calling cards.
Try: Certain companies frequently use calling cards, and if this is true for your business, check out the AT&T One Rate plan. For one low monthly fee, you eliminate any sort of service charges and receive all domestic calls for only a few cents per minute. For international calling cards, as well as a list of access codes, look into Discount Telephone Marketplace.

Find a location or website to purchase AT&T prepaid calling cards

Scour different locations to find the best deal on landing AT&T calling cards. Since there are many different types of cards to choose from, weed through the many offers available to find the best one for your business. International rates are higher than domestic calls, so you need to determine how much it would cost to call certain countries before purchasing the calling card.
Try: For an AT&T international calling card, check out ComFi.com. Selling both domestic and international cards, ZapTel provides a handy rate table, explaining the rate per minute to the more than 200 countries with which AT&T international calling cards can connect.

Save money, and buy your AT&T phone cards in bulk

If you plan to use AT&T prepaid phone cards often, it's economical to purchase these cards in bulk. Not only does this save on costs, but it almost guarantees that you should have enough cards around for emergencies, such as if an employee is gearing up for a business trip you forgot about or you suddenly need to contact a business in another country.
Try: CompuNet Communications sells its AT&T calling cards in lots of 100 or more. InstaPhoneCard is another option, where you can receive a discount when buying its 20-pack of prepaid phone cards.
