Placing collect calls while you are traveling abroad can be expensive. Hotel phone rates are not only charged per minute, but are also subject to other additional charges. You can actually use your cell phone while you travel in other countries by using calling cards such as IDT calling card, Sprint calling card, and Nobel calling cards.

IDT calling cards are cards that IDT telephone company issues so you can use them in making long distance calls to your family, friends, and colleagues. It is easy to use an IDT calling card. All you have to do is dial a toll-free access number. Wait for a computer tone before you enter your IDT calling card number as well as its password. A second computer message (or tone) shall direct you to dial the area code with the seven-digit number that you wish to call.

The process of placing a call manually may be too cumbersome and unsafe especially if you are driving and using a mobile phone. You can actually register your IDT calling card together with your cell phone. Just visit the website of IDT to take advantage of automatic dialing using your IDT calling card.

If you have an existing long distance provider, you can still use the IDT calling card without changing your phone carrier. Although you will not have to pay for the activation fee of your IDT calling card, a minimal monthly service fee will be charged on your account thirty days from the day your card has been activated. From that time onwards, you will have to pay for the service fee every thirty days.

In case you lose your registered mobile phone while on your trip, you can still access your IDT calling card from a payphone. However, there is a surcharge fee for every call you make from payphones.
