[Question] International Call from within Brazil

[Richard Gere]

I am looking for an online site to purchase prepaid phone cards that can call from japan and jordan to the US at a reasonable rate. I am also wondering if there is any difference between the different phone cards and calling cards in terms of quality or are they just all the same. Any information on this would be helpful!

Welcome to the forum. I would suggest scanning back in this forum and look at reviews of various companies. Problem is: You might find one SIM w. much better rates from Japan, and another with much better rates from Jordan. (That's quite a combination.) One thing to note: not all phones will work in Japan - you need to check freq. Others with more knowledge can tell you what phones to look for to use in Japan.
I just checked the rates for a piranha-mobile.com SIM. They are really low for both countries. 15¢/min for incoming and 25¢/min for calls back to U.S. (Data rates in both countries are very high. They seem to get pretty good reviews, here. I just bought their SIM to use in China the end of the month. Just used it for a couple of test calls here in U.S. so far. There is a thread discussing this SIM. If you aren't on T-Mobile U.S. which has wifi calling built in on Androids and BBerries which allow for "free" calls back to the U.S. and free incoming - you could probably set up something using Skype.
Piranha does have an app you can use to make outgoing calls for 2¢/min when on wifi. I won't be using that because I have TMobile with its free, builtin calling when on wifi anywhere in the world. I have used it all over the world from Australia to Zambia.
Let us know what phone you have.
