Best calling cards?
 

Can anyone suggest good calling cards to use in Africa? I want to buy here in the States/online before I go so I have one less thing to worry about, and I don't want to bring a cell. Thanks for your help!

I should say - good calling card companies.

We bought one while in S Africa at a convenience store. They are available in the airports. It's so cheap - called home 4 times for about $4! Never bought one here for use there.

I've bought WorldCall Prepaid Callind Cards in SA, usually in 50 and 100 Rand denominations and usually at the SA airport on my way out.

Buy locally when you get there. International calling systems in Africa are way too advanced and very cheap than anything you could get from home.
If you were taking a phone-or you get to use one there- download an app called Rebtel.
Also Skype saved on an American phone number calls American nbers for free from anywhere in the world.
Good Luck
