I had a friend give birth a few weeks ago to a beautiful baby boy. They were so excited that they wanted to share their news with everyone from their room at the hospital. There was one problem. They were not allowed to use their cell phones inside the hospital. There was a posted rule about not using cell phones because it interferes with some of the equipment. Even if they broke the rules and tried to use their cells, the reception inside the hospital was so bad they could not make a connection.

Within a day her husband had gone out and bought a calling card. This was the easiest way for them to get in touch with everyone from the hospital room. They could not call their family from the phone that was in the room because most of their family lived in other states and the hospital would have charged outrageous sums of money to their hospital bill. The calling card allowed them to call their family from the phone in their room without the crazy high charges.

I came a cross a calling card provider this week that has some of the best deals on the internet for cheap phone cards. They are not like other calling cards. They offer you FREE $5 worth of minutes when you sign up or you could get 4 hours of free International calls just for signing up for Pingo. They also let you save up to 90% on International calls, and if you want to earn a little extra cash, their affiliate program pays you $15 for every person you refer (who signs up).

These calling cards are important to have. If your cell phone dies and you happen to be stranded somewhere, you will need a way to make a phone call. If you are like me, you don’t carry a lot of cash with you, if any at all. A phone card is something that can be invaluable. Look into it. Just have a $5 card in your wallet (which a Pingo will give to you just for signing up) could save you a lot of frustration down the road and maybe could even save your life. Take a moment and check out what Pingo has to offer.
