Calling all phone card users
Phone cards may be a good deal,
but they can also be expensive, depending on the cards you choose and how you use them. Some cards can: - charge up to 59 cents a minute for each call,
- carry extra, unadvertised, or hidden fees, or
- begin calculating the charges as you dial, rather than waiting until your party answers.
To get the maximum benefit out of a prepaid phone card, use it for short calls during prime-time hours; 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., and try to avoid calling local numbers.
