Prepaid calling cards companies or long distance prepaid phone cards companies offer three types of international calling cards. Rechargeable prepaid phone cards and non-rechargeable calling cards.
The convenience of recharging your long distance phone calling card is that you get to keep the same PIN and keep adding balance. It is most usefull because you only need to remember one calling card pin, store it in your phone memory or speed dial it.
If you buy a non rechargeable long distance phone calling card then when the balance is down to zero you need to get yourself a new PIN. Imagine the inconvenience.
The only inconvenience for rechargeable international calling cards is that when you recharge it takes about 30 minutes for the balance to be updated on the phone card, whereas if you buy a new prepaid calling card the balance is available right away.
One other convenience prepaid international calling cards companies offer is the AUTOMATIC RECHARGE option.
To prevent your prepaid calling card to run out of minutes, phone cards companies have introduced this option. It's a good feature as it saves you a lot of the troble of having to go online and place a recharge on your long distance international calling cards.
You get to choose a recharge level and a recharge amount. That way when the balance on your prepaid calling card gets below the recharge level the phone cards system will automatically initiate a recharge with the specified amount on your calling card.
I can see how that would save you a lot of time and effort!
