I did a search and did not find anything. Do you know the best company for a calling card. I am specifically looking for my parents. I need calling cards for the US to call me in SK on a mobile.

Can anyone recommend a good company?

Skype. much much cheaper and far less hassle.

I second Skype. I don't know where you're from. But I pay $6.00 a month on Skype and I can call any North American phone(landline or cellular) from South Korea. And if your parents have a webcam at home they can video chat with you. Much better than calling on the phone. I've noticed that even in the small town I'm in in central Korea has such fast internet that the video chat on Skype works better than with broadband in the U.S.

I looked at Skype and it does seem better. I like the Skype to go feature that I can use my mobile to call my family and vice versa.

What type of plans do most people get. I would be calling my parents on their mobile phone in the US and they would be calling me on my mobile phone.

Which plan do most people get: the global unlimited or pay as you go? It looks like the pay as you go has a connection fee and the global unlimited you can only call landlines in Korea.

Is my information accurate?

Thanks in advance for the info.

I have the unlimited north american package
but unlimited packages won't cover calls to mobile phones in Korea because of the price difference.

Thanks for the info. One last question. If I use a US # and when I am out have the calls forwarded to my mobile how much does it usually cost per minute for the phone call?
