experience in canada---
1-in mississauga--
A salesman sold rogers card for mobile phone and we purchased it.
When we tried to call india we could not make it -asked tht guy-he replied it is only for local use-------
now what will we do to that card-where will we be using it ???as landline phone at home is available to call local number.
*connection charges+card value etc=75 CAD $ just a waste we spent it seems!
Can we make any better use of tht mobile card in anyway/ to call International numbers?
2-Now bought an Int. calling card whn we dial given number on card using landline it says ,u can call 5 hrs ----for 10 $ card----very happy to hear tht and--we make call to india & start talking ---- in just 3-4 mins it finishes!
Whats all this system--can anyone explain???

1. call Rogers and say your understanding was it can be used for Int. calls as per what the sales guy told u etc... Just stress that sales guy said it can be used 
They may replace it with an int. card of equivalent value or give u credit. May not get refund, but at least some credit. At least worth a shot. Worked for me earlier when I bought a rogers SIM card from store; opened it to load it into the phone I bought from Rogers online and then found that it is pre-loaded with another SIM. he he.
2. Buy reliance india card or something more reliable. If u r having rogers home phone, they have a 10 cent per min to India plan - All the world plan or so. May be they will give u credit for ur calling card here.
Just talk nice to the agent. If the CSR don't budge, hang up and call back. In 2 or 3 attempts, u will get a nice CSR who will give u credit. No idea how that works, but some will say there is no way they can help u... then another guy will give u all sorts of credit!
thanks

hi flyinghigh sorry to hear about your experience in Canada. Since you are new here, if anytime you need advice, dont hesitate you can contact the forum and they will give you better adviced as we do have experienced people on CDs forum.
I prefer to use Samjota card for india and you can get the cheapest one for $2.50, or may be 20/20 card too is good.
Read properly all the fine prints when you buy something here. Enjoy ur stay in Canada
Most phone cards have hidden fees. See http://www.canadiandesi.ca/read.php?TID=4614&page=1#22819
