How to Make International Calls With a Charter Phone
Charter is the fourth-largest cable provider company in the United States. In addition to cable television, Charter provides telephone services and high-speed Internet. Charter phones are available with numerous options, such as voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting and special rates for international calls. You can make international calls using a Charter phone by either using the international rate-per-minute service or subscribing to Charter's Worldwide 250 plan, which limits the minutes of your international calls to 250 minutes.
