Q: Has anyone used international calling cards to phone abroad? Good Value?

Obviously most people use skype to call home, but what if you're on the go and need to use your cell to call abroad. Are there any good value phone cards available in China?

I've always used a vontage service. I can get a local number for back home, have it here with me to call and be called without any charge, and home phone numbers in most other countries are covered (different packages cover more countries). Plus I don't have to have my computer on and if I miss a call, the voice-mail is emailed to me.

I use a IP card from China Telecom. It's really expensive.
I just use it to call home and my parents call me back.
Here is around 4-5 yuan/minute with IP card; in Switzerland, my parents pay 0.30 yuan/minute.
Or Skype is also the good solution.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
