You know who I want to bother on the phone? Natalie. She lives in Canada, and I’m broke and international calls are super duper expensive, so generally speaking me running off to get myself an international phone card is pretty much out of the question, so I just have to bite it and realize that I’m not going to get to talk to her anytime soon.

But I was checking out the “Cheap Phone Cards for Canada” section of Phone Cards Avenue over on their website and I realized that at the Nine (800 and Local Access) Phone Card’s low low rates, I could afford to at least buy myself one, or even a few, of those international phone cards to keep on hand so when big news, birthdays, holidays or other very special occasions come around I can at least give her a call and a hug over the phone instead of having to wish her a happy day via a bland online post card or an email or something.

Phone Cards Avenue has an extensive selection, I’m impressed! I can see myself using this service all the time, in fact they have so many countries covered by their amazing selection of international phone cards that they even have cards to places in Africa and Japan, which is nice because Josh and Minnie live in Osaka now and Megumi has recently moved herself all the way back to Tokyo and she’s just harder than hell to get in touch with these days.

You don’t even want to know long distance rates to Tokyo if you go with Cellular One’s regular, and quite rediculously expensive long distance rate - it’s insane! And I don’t have the money to throw away on regular long distance bills anymore. Besides that the quality is horrible, and I can’t use a payphone to make the call which I can do if I buy phone cards.
