    whats the cheapest way to make a long distance call? and are there any ways that you can make them without having them show up on your phone bill?

    Are you trying to hide the fact that you are sponsering a child in Brazil from your parents?:p

    as far as I know, All calls, appear on the phone bill. Unless you call collect maybe, which is certainly the cheapest....for you...not the other party. :p

    Depends on how many minutes you want.

    If you are serious about getting one, I would recommend getting one that you can recharge and that has a lot of minutes standard.

    you could probably get enough minutes to say just about anything for 10-20 dollars. I haven't purchased a calling card in a long time, I don't know if the rates have changed much.

    I had my neighbor buy a phone card from Sam's Club for me, I think the card initially came with 1000 minutes for $30...I've recharged it once or twice since then. It's an 800 number, which wouldn't appear on a phone bill, and 3 cents a minute is a great deal...if you only wanna use it once though, a card with that many minutes would be a colossal waste.
