International calling from Russia

Information on calling from Russia is somewhat hard to find. It's only recently that there has been established a means for a person living outside of Russia to secure a reliable way to place calls from Russia.

What do I mean by that? Obviously there is nothing new about international calls placed from Russia. A person there can pick a phone, dial access codes, and call USA or any other country of the world. What's new is a means for you, a person residing in the US (or any other country) to provide for whoever you have in Russia a means to call you. In my situation, I'm paying for the phone calls my mom makes when she is calling me here in America. In your situation it might be a spouse, parent, fiancee, girfriend, etc.

What's the advantage in you paying for their calls?

• It's cheap. A minute to call US from Russia averages about $2 using a Russian long distance company (there is not much of competition there either in terms of phone providers, so people are stuck with the high prices). Compare it with as little as $0.05 (5 cents) a minute for international calls from Russia to the US. Think of your income and their income.
  
• It's convenient. All you need is visit the Calls to Russia website, purchase a phone card with access in Russia, and forward the dialing instructions to your loved ones in Russia. Check the balance and refill at any time (or even set up the auto refill option).
  
• It's secure. You are purchasing a phone card from an American company specializing on calls to Russia. Your transactions are protected by VeriSign.

Of course, if you happen to travel to Russia and would like to take care of your international calling needs, Russia Call phone cards is the way to go. Purchase a phone card before you go and don't worry whether you will be able to call home (no language barrier, no operators, no high priced phone bills on your hotel bill, etc.) Needless to say if you reside in Russia, this the way to do it: buy a phone card that works in Russia to call USA or any other country.
