Most useful Calling Card I've owned I don't actually "sell" this, but I'm recommending it. If you buy one by clicking on the box below, I think they flick me a few frequent yammerer points or something ... take a look: 
The EnjoyPrepaid card has been the handiest thing. I like the DIAMOND or EMERALD card with no weekly fees to eat up your credit, no flagfall (except $1 if you use a payphone), 1 second/1 minute rounding, and it DOESN'T EXPIRE wihtin 2 YEARS of last use.
For calling Australia or the UK it's about 2.5 cents a minute and 5c going the other way.If your cell battery goes dead, or there's no celltower reception, use it for landline calls within the States for around 2 cents a minute.
You can have it auto-renew when the balance gets low. You can use a local access number from a landline to get a lower rate than using it from a cell or phone box - and the system remembers you, so you don't have to type in the PIN every time. You can use it anywhere in the world. I think it's pretty durn handy.
