Welcome international students, scholars, faculty and parents of US and Canadian students studying abroad.

Use your free ZapTel phone card to call from the 50 United States and Canada to over 230 different countries. If the number of free minutes to your country is not already listed on the back of the card, you will be told the number of minutes the first time you dial your destination number.

(For calls from other countries to the United States, you'll need a different card. Consider purchasing a Study Abroad Student's Choice when traveling or studying outside of the United States and Canada)

How Activation Works

The unique activation number on the back of your card may be used one time to get the free PIN and other benefits listed on the card. One free card per person, please.

• You will set up a simple, free account which allows us to dispense a "fresh" pin to you instantly on the screen and in a confirmation email message. Write this PIN # on your card.
• If you like the quality and rates, you can recharge your PIN in just a few mouse clicks with your new account. Or you may choose from over 25 other phone cards in the ZapTel store, with different rates and fees that might be better for you.
• You are not obligated to buy anything from ZapTel. But we hope you will want to after you experience our call quality, rate selection, convenient online store, and friendly customer service staff.

The activation process takes about 2 minutes with a high-speed Internet connection.
