Can someone please suggest the best international phone cards from Korea to the US? Preferably one I can order online. Thanks very much!

I use www.ssancard.com - it actually gives you a list of cards and shows which ones are the cheapest for where you are calling.

It's in Korean, so you may need some help, but it's good. Once you wire the money to them, they send you or email you your pin number.

Good luck!

I paid 10,000 won for the calling card I just finished. 223 minutes from mobile to land line and 112 minutes from mobile to mobile. It was the Hanaro Telecom 162 card (pink and white with a little girl holding a telephone on the front).

I bought one today and the lady who sold it to me said that it would give me 333 minutes from mobile to land line and 160 minutes from mobile to mobile. It's the Mission card (all it says is Mission and International Calling Card on the front) and it cost me 12,000 won.

I just go to the calling card shops or foreign food stores in Itaewon and buy whatever they recommend for the countries I call. I always get 400-600 minutes for 15,000-20,000, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Good quality calls, too.

Go to the Foreign Food Mart in Itaewon. They have great cards. The one I was buying was called Master Card. I got over 500 minutes for 13,000 won.

To go there, get out of exit 3 of Itaweon Station, walk past Starbucks and turn right onto the next street. FF Mart is on the left halfway up the street.
