How do I use an international phone card

[clancyblob]

I work with a young student who has family in Cuba and wants to get in touch with them. I have seen phone cards in shop windows for �5, and Red Hot seems to offer what I think is the most minutes per �5. How do I use this card? There's all small print about a daily charge as a perecentage, and I don't understand! All I want to do is arrange for this person to be able to phone Cuba once in a while. Any advice anyone?

Hi
well last time i used one, you had to ring the number on the car first , then enter a code also found on the card then your phone number . During the call you normally get a count down to how many mins you have left

The daily percentage charge may well start the day you buy the card so even when you are not useing the card it is still knocking off a daily amount, the card will tell you how to use it but essex bloke is about right.
