the greatest calling card EVER

You know how sometimes you discover a product that's just so good that you can't keep it to yourself? Well, ladies, I have discovered such a product. Say hello to my new friend and the reason for the sanity in mine and TLS's relationship.As you can imagine, one of the downsides to a relationship like ours is the cost of making phone calls. Well, my mother got me a few of these cards to call her when she goes on vacations, so I used one to call TLS, thinking that with the $0.89 I had left on it, we could talk for 5 minutes. Try 2 hours and 35 minutes. Yes, that's right. A $5 card gets you 14+ hours of talk time between America and the U.K. We used one this weekend to watch Night at the Museum over the phone together along with several episodes of How I Met Your Mother, and just to talk, and it's still not done. Needless to say, I will be buying more of these.


My mother found the cards in a Korean deli near her house, you can also order them online here. While I realize that not everyone is in a relationship like ours, these cards are awesome if you have any friends or family who are travelling or studying abroad.

  1. That is really cheap, wow! When my boyfriend was abroad we used to use Skype but we would always get a bad connection. If you have webcams on your computers, maybe try webcamming through gmail, that always helped us get to "see" each other.

  2. My sister lives in Germany and we Skype all the time, but this card sounds perfect for when we're not near the computer or she's traveling around Europe (tough life, I know).
