Question

Can I use my prepaid calling card with any phone?

Community Answer

Yes, if you have a PIN and an access number to dial. For landlines you would need that information. For mobile phones, most prepaid calling card companies provide you with a mobile app where you can install and dial straight without using a PIN and access number (pinless dialing).

Question

Where is the access number on my phone card?

Top Answerer

This is often found underneath a metal strip on the card's back. You may need to scratch or peel off the strip to reveal this number.

Question

Can I do a follow-up call without having to start from the beginning?

Christopher

Top Answerer

Each card is different. However, it's most preferred to make separate calls. When you start your call, listen to the instructions to see if you're given that option.

Can I resell my calling card?

No, you cannot resell a calling card once it has been activated by scratching off the protective coating and the first call has been placed.
