You are making it look that easy when it is not. Yes, some cards have low rates but they all have extra fees that you failed to mention. There are round out increment fees, maintenance fees, connection fees, communication fees. A simple 10 minute call to Europe that should cost 30c ends up costing $8.00 after all the extra fees. Your best bet is to buy a call card with cash at a convenience store and not let one of these online services get hold of your credit card number.
