The answer

Purchasing prepaid calling cards is buying a known, permissible benefit. It is permissible to sell this benefit immediately or at a later time, for less or more than its purchase price, because it is not currency, so usury does not apply to it; rather, it is a benefit. For it to be sold in installments, an agreement on its installment price is required.
