How to Create Your Own Calling Plan on BananaCall

March 09, 2010

Besides providing you a great means of making long distance calls at economical rates, www.Banancall.com also takes pride in offering you the opportunity to customize your own prepaid calling plan. In case the ones pre-defined by our very own team of specialists don't exactly fit your needs, here's how you can design your own, tailor-made prepaid calling plan:

Step 1: Use the search box on our website and fill in the "Calling from" and "Calling to" countries accordingly and then hit the "Search for Best Rates" button. We will display a list of the lowest-rate calling cards we have available. Let's say none of these is exactly what you're looking for; then go to the next step:

Step 2: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the banner reading "Not satisfied? Click here to create and customize your plan!" This will take you to a brand new page, the "Customize Your Plan" page. Make sure the selected countries are the same as earlier.

Step 3: Select the preferred rounding you want to have on your calling plan. These range from 1 second to 8 minutes. At this point, you should know that a longer rounding is better for longer calls - and a shorter rounding should be your option if you are going to place shorter and more frequent calls. For more on this subject, please see the article entitled "Learn How to Pick the Best Billing Increment".

Step 4: Select "Yes" or "No" under the "Weekly Maintenance Fee" option. A weekly maintenance fee will give you a lower per minute rate on your prepaid calling plan, whereas with a no maintenance fee card you'll get slightly higher rates. Again, you should get the card with the maintenance fee if you plan to make a lot of calls; if on the other hand, you'll use your BananaCall plan to make a call every once in a while, you're better off without the maintenance fee.

Step 5: Select "Yes" or "No" under the "Connection Fee" option. No fee means slightly lower rates, again. But in this case, you should go with the no-connection-fee plan if you'll make many short calls. If you make fewer but longer calls, your overall cost will be lower if you get a calling plan with a maintenance fee.

Step 6: Now that you're done with the specifications, just hit the "View Details" button and we will display the card with the particular options that you selected! All you need to do at this point is click the "Buy Now" button at the bottom of the page and it will be just a few minutes until you will get your calling card details.
