I had someone call my place via a calling card once. I was LD and the caller ID said VOIP. I think the no name cards can bypass all the taxation via VOIP lines. I dunno how they operate but I'm guessing thats how they keep the fees down.
I can tell you don't know how they operate. Wholesale VOIP is typically cheaper then SS7 termination but its also crappier and finding a provider worth a damned is tough. Rate plans are the key here though, how they are accessed is not. Only difference comes into play for the mandating payphone fee so payphone operators still get some money from the call, fee came into being because payphones are charged for every call.. even TFN's.
