If you do not want to switch long distance service, the best options for saving on international long distance are dial around numbers and prepaid services. We will cover both here.

Dial Around Numbers (also called 10-10 numbers) are a great way to save on your overseas calls. They are called "dial around" because you simply dial around your current provider. Many of the carriers that own dial around numbers do not advertise at all, and because of this they can give highly discounted rates.

Prepaid Services such as prepaid phone cards are another way to receive discount rates on international long distance. Prepaid companies usually can offer low international rates because the amount of bad debt the company must deal with is low due to the services being paid for up front.
