Let\u2019s see your pics!\u201d, our first question is always: \u201cHow did you call home from your destination\u201d. And what do we hear? 9 of 10 people use long distance calling cards. Yeah, that old-fashioned, expensive, clumsy peaces of paper. Disaster! If you too is a member of calling cards holders club, read this post as soon as possible, and find out why you should stop using it.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n        <ul class=\"article__apps\">\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/itunes-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-app-store.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/android-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                  <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-google-play.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item web\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/en\/account\/?utm_source=blog-web\" target=\"_blank\">Join Yolla and start saving on calls<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. The Process of Calling is Complicated<\/h2>\n<p>So, how do the long-distance calling cards work? When you use it to make a call, you firstly deal the toll-free access number, then &#8211; your PIN number, and only as a third step you type the number you are calling too. Come on, why do so much job when you can install Skype or Yolla, and forget about typing in billions extra-numbers?<\/p>\n<h2>2. You Don\u2019t Know How Much You Will Pay<\/h2>\n<p>Calling card users frequently complain about hidden charges and inaccurate rate listings of card providers. Card balance can be easily eaten away by connection fee, or long-call charge, or other tricks. Not to mention rounding up your call length to charge you for more minutes than you spoke&#8230; Here, in Yolla, we don\u2019t think it\u2019s right approach to business, that\u2019s why we provide you an accurate price before you make a call.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n        <ul class=\"article__apps\">\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/itunes-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-app-store.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/android-blog\" target=\"_blank\">\n                  <img src=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/white-google-play.svg\" alt=\"icon\"\/>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"article__apps-item web\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/yollacalls.com\/en\/account\/?utm_source=blog-web\" target=\"_blank\">Join Yolla and start saving on calls<\/a>\n            <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Your Money Can Be Stolen Once<\/h2>\n<p>Most of long-distance calling cards expires if you don\u2019t top-up them for some period of time. It doesn\u2019t matter if you have money on your balance &#8211; your card once will turn to useless piece of plastic, and your unused credits will go away to the calling card company.<\/p>\n<h2>4. It\u2019s not Eco-Friendly<\/h2>\n<p>Your calling card is a product of plastic and paper industry that badly affect our environment. Why don\u2019t you stop buying it to make air a bit more clean?<\/p>\n<p>So, now, when you see all the downsides of plastic cards, you probably think on the more convenient alternative.
