Do Your e-call

If you’re using calling cards already, you’re saving a lot of money on your domestic and international calls. But did you know you can get even more?

Some phone cards companies have programms that encourage you to refer your friends to their products. Your friends get to save money on their calls to, and you get free credits on your calling card. Truly, a win-win situation.

But a few things you should take into consideration: don’t spam your friends with emails, telling them about the great calling cards you’re using – and recommending they use them too. You’ll probably end up annoying them, they will not respond, and not subscribe to get that calling card. And in the end, you get no commission. Instead, try to only refer the friends you think might actually be interested in these cards. That’s usually people with similar reasons to yours.

Ask the friends you refer to tell you if they create an account/buy a calling card. Doing this, you’ll have a way of tracking down your referrals and make sure you get your bonus for each and every one of them.

If the information on how to refer friends and the benefits you get isn’t clearly explained on the site, it might be a good idea to call their customer support and ask about that. You should also make sure that, if you enter your friends’ emails, they will not be spammed by the calling card company, or any third parties. This info should be available under terms and conditions, on somewhere on the referral page. If not, ask at Customer Support.

Referring your friends is something more people should take into consideration: first, you have the chance to help someone solve a problem you solved for yourself a long time ago (making cheaper domestic and international calls); and you also win something: you get credits, on your own calling card, for every friend that signs up and gets a phone card or a calling card.
