Cheaper than Puerto Rico Calling Cards
International calling cards advertise low per-minute rates to Puerto Rico but pad costs with connection fees ($0.09–$0.99 per call), maintenance fees ($0.50–$2 per week), and per-minute rounding that can double the effective rate. A $10 calling card to Puerto Rico typically delivers 60–70% of the advertised minutes after fees.
Cheaper than Your Carrier's Puerto Rico Rates
US mobile carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) charge $1.00–$3.00 per minute for direct-dialed calls to Puerto Rico. Their international add-on plans run $10–$15/month and often exclude mobile numbers — meaning a 30-minute call to a Puerto Rico mobile on a carrier plan can still cost $30+. The same call on Kinvo costs $0.95.
A common trap: assuming WiFi calling makes international calls cheap. It does not — WiFi calling still bills at carrier international rates. See WiFi calling vs VoIP for international calls for the full breakdown.
