Default Cheap Telephone Calling Cards

Has anyone had any problems with the following cards: Australia Me
card, Tell Me Too and Peach phone card. Well if you have, the reason is the company that produces them, Zoo Telecom, went into administration.

I purchased my card from Phone Card Selector Pty. Ltd. and they have refused me a refund even though the number stopped working a few days after I bought it.

Make up your own mind if you buy cards from this company in future. I have filled a complaint with the Fair Trading office. You can do it online and it's free!

Interesting article considering Phone Card Selector are mentioned and plugging the very card that stopped working. The question I have is whether the supplier, i.e. Phone Card Selector should be liable for the loss as they originally supplied the card to me. If they supply a duff card surely it is up to them to sort it.

Thank you so much for this. I posted last week about our Tell Me Too card that had suddenly stopped working with no apparent reason. While it's a pain to be out of pocket, it's nice to know why.

The best calling cards I have found so far have been from www.talkcards.com.au
Excellent selection!

Well, I'm not sure of any other cards but I've been using GoTalk calling cards. No problem with it and the rates are reasonable.

we use supersaver and have done for 5 years- they have been great.
You can buy vouchers at Coles, petrol stations etc

We now have the service set up on our home phone and so don't have to key in the long voucher number each time- it recognises our home phone. When we are away, the automated service asks which phone you are linked to, so can access the same account.

I used Talking Cow very cheap to call the UK, However using in it Oz was not too good
