Calling the Philippines the cheaper way

Calling my parents to the Philippines usually cost me 10 to 12 dollars just for an hour to talk to them since I am using direct call from our home phone. I always call them once a month but lately I decided to cut back on my spending in international calls and thought of just using international calling cards to be able to save. If I use Philippine calling cards it will only cost me half of what I usually spend since it would only cost 10 cents a minute with no connection fee and I could buy these cards for as low as five dollars. That’s really a great deal. I can still keep in touch with my loved ones in the Philippines and spend less.
