I have a friend who lives in Lebanon and I always miss her calls when she calls me. My cell phone doesnt allow me call her back for whatever reason. So I need to buy a phone card but the more I look at them the more I am confused. Do I need an international one and will any international one work or do I need a specific kind? I really know nothing about this so any information would be very helpful. I know calling a cell phone is more expensive than a land line, but does that affect the kind of card I need?

Sounds like you need an International Phone Card. Make sure that it is region specific, as this will insure that you get the best rates. In your case, you'll need a Lebanese phone card.
Here are some things to look before you purchase:
1). Is there a connection fee — if so, how much is it
2). What is the billing increments? Try to find one that is billed by the second or minute. Some cards are billed every 4 minutes, so even a 1 minute call will still cost $4!
3). What's the expiration date?
4). Are there any hidden fees? Some cards quote a large number of minutes based on variables that they don't tell you about. Basically, you need to determine the "clean rate".
