What is the prepaid phone card and how does it work ? |
| |
| |
A prepaid phone card is a service provided by various telecom
companies that sell their service in advance. When you buy a prepaid calling
card from CThai.com, you are paying for domestic or international long distance
connection time in advance. When you make calls using the phone card, the value
of the card is deducted based on connection fee, duration of connection,
surcharges and any maintenance charges associated with the phone card.

What is the difference between prepaid phone cards,
phone cards, prepaid calling cards, calling cards, long distance phone cards ? |
| |
| |
They refer to the same thing: prepaid long distance service
from telecom companies that produce the cards. You pay for your long distance
service in advance. You do not have to pay for any monthly fees, sign up fees,
or sign a contract. Pre-paid long distance service is getting more popular
because the rates are decreasing faster than post-paid long distance service.

How do I know which card is right for me ?
|
| |
| |
CThai.com offers calling cards to call Thailand and many countries in the world
to find out the rates to the country and city you are calling to select the
country you will be calling from and the destination to which you will be
calling. Connection fee cards usually offer lower rates, but charge you a
connection fee every time you call. These cards offer more minutes and are
better for longer conversations. Opting for a no connection fee card is usually
a better choice for shorter, more frequent phone calls to a certain
destination. If you are calling to cellular phones then choose a card, which
denotes that it is specifically for calling cellular phones. Also, note that
some of our cards offer discounted rates to certain major cities within a
country.

What does the Minutes Price Plus Tax mean ? |
| |
| |
For these type of cards mean the rate of cards is not include taxes, thus you
will be charged for the taxes plus the total prices from the length of the time
you talk.
For Example, if you buy Worldwide call for $20, the rate of this card 11.9
cents/min and you use this card for 10 minutes. You will be supposed to pay for
rate * length of time (11.9 * 10) = $1.19. But this is not the final price, you
have to pay more for taxes. Worldwide call has taxes 15% so if you used this
card for 10 minutes, taxes will be (rate * length of time)* tax ($1.19 *
15/100) =17.85 cents. So you will be charged for $1.19 + 0.1785 = $1.3685 for
using 10 minutes by decreasing the amount of time from your card.

If you make a call using local access number, it can reduce the call rates up to
2 cents. Local number of each card will be different. These toll free numbers
support the areas that is listed on web site only. If you are not the resident
in those areas and you make a call to these local access numbers, you will have
to pay more for long distance call to these local access numbers.
Therefore, if you are not those areas' resident, please use 1800 access to call
to Thailand to avoid extra charge on your phone bill.

Here's a few things to keep in mind when entering your billing
address with your credit information.
If you enter a Post Office box, do not use periods after the PO. (Example: Use
"PO Box" instead of "P.O. Box"). If you are on a rural route with a box number,
enter your rural route on the top line and your box number on the second line.
(Example: Do not enter "RR 1 Box 123" all on one line. Instead, enter "RR 1" on
the first line and "Box 123" on the second line.)
Please note that the address you provide must match the address on your credit
card statement exactly or the transaction will be declined.
