Hi, my wife is in Jordan and cannot call me in the US. She could but the cost is prohibitive.
Is it possible for me to SMS her a calling card number so she can phone me? |

YES, but it might take several messages. You need local (Jordan) call in #, PIN and possibly other codes - with ATT you need the 10 digit US ATT call in #.
Why can't you call HER? She can go to internet cafe and send you her hotel # via email, no? Or maybe they have call shops as in Europe. Or she can buy or borrow a Jordanian cell, no? Good luck.

Thanks Stan,
She has a local phone (Fastlink) but can only reveive text. She could call if I sent to her an international pin. She lives there and is awaiting me but I cannot reach her without paying 3 bucks per minute!!! |

Make sure ATT or MCI allow calling FROM Jordan if you go that way. I cannot verify that right now. It seems ONESUITE AND ENJOYPREPAID do not have access in Jordan.
LDpost.com seems to have a card that will work. Stan Service: US T-MO post paid (2) - US T-MO prepaid (2) - UM+ - TravelSIM DE SIMYO - DE SUNSIM T-Mobile DE Calling Cards: Onesuite Enjoyprepaid AT&T MCI Mobivox |

If you have high speed internet, look at voipgate.com only 11 cents a minute to a Jordanian mobile.
Can she dial a US number regardless of rate? I was wondering about a callback service? Also, here is an interesting SMS based callback service specifically targetting the Middle East: https://www.amanees.com/ |
