There is Nothing Like Hearing Their Voices

We have several family members who have been living in Israel for going on a year now. They have not set up an international cell phone plan yet and for the most part we all communicate with them via e-mail.
The holidays, though, are a time of year that I find myself more in the mood to hear the voices of my family members, rather than just reading letters or e-mails. You cannot replicate the immediate response and sound of emotion in a live conversation.
What I have in mind is to get my Christmas shopping done a little early for my relatives. I’m going to set them up with an international phone card that they can use when they have time to make calls. By purchasing pre-paid time, you can take advantage of bulk pricing and take the time to find the best deals available. For example, PhoneCardsAvenue has inexpensive international phone cards as well as a 3% cash back rebate program. By shopping around like this, I can get more minutes for my money.
Of course, I could just send my family some of the good old American food products they have been missing over in Israel, but I’m feeling a little selfish. I would rather just hear their voices.
