Calling to Vietnam

Hi all,

I call back to VN quite a bit through Starhub roaming.

Monthly bills chalked up can come up to quite a bit. I can't change service provider yet because I'm still on contract.

Heard there are cheap prepaid cards around.

Can anyone recommend a good one?

I use Talk-a-thon.

It's a $10 value which allows you to call for about 120mins.

You should be able to get it for ard $7.50 - $8.50

Hope this helps

I have been using this (Blue Card) VNPT Global PrePaid Calling Card S$10 value (Bought at S$9)

So far so good, Value for money. I call everyday a few times and it last me for 4-5 days.

Customer enquiry pls dial 66226373

Thanks all for the suggestions!

You can try M1.

Now i m using 1576 ICC, green in color. It is a direct call. U can call for 150 min. Of course, same as other cards, there will be connection fee.

I feel its harder to connect us compared to talk-a-thon.

Maybe just my line

I think so far the cheapest service I tried is 1521 by Sunpage. They only charge S$0.69 per minute. Bros, you guys can sign up the service with Sunpage at www.sunpage.com.sg

Loads of recommendations above bro, both prepaid cards and from the telcos.

I prefer prepaid cards though so that it's easier to budget

That is true... with prepaid cards there is no worries about over calling and can keep your wallet in check!!

Bro, the Talk-A-Thon cards can be bought from 7-11 stores??

I've seen them being sold at 7-11, but not all.

Prepaid cards like Talk-a-thon, BIP, chat chat, etc can be easily found in those mobile phone shops not affiliated to any of the 3 Telecoms. Buying at 7-11, Cheers, etc is a waste of money.

For e.g. a $10 valued card can be bought for $8.

Never heard of this before. Is it good?

Bros,

Currently Starhub's Home Connect 1884 is having promotion: buy $10 get another $5 free!!! I bought a $20 card and got toal $30 worth of calls which translates to 3 hours and 40+ mins of call to Vietnam!

Grab the offer now!

Hold on...

A talk-a-thon @ $10 gives you 120min call time, i.e. $20 gives you 240min = 4hrs

So considering that you can get talk-a-thon for cheaper at certain places, it still makes for better value. Of course I'm not talking into consideration any connection charge here.

Comments?

I am using Phương Đông (VNPT Global Prepaid Calling Card), cost about $8.50 from those shop that sell calling card.

Thanks for your recommendations.

I've had to remove the image because this free forum runs on very little storage space.

Thanks for your understanding.

My wife is using BIP card brought @8.80 depend on what type of call
for direct about 100mins outgoing call apply
call back about 70mins for those with free incoming call

so far no complain from her

I'm using Budget call Card also very good.
Bought at $8 - $8.50 depending where u buy it from...

So far is one of the best quality i have tried.

IMO. Phương Đông (VNPT Global Prepaid Calling Card) is still the best.
