Made a $60 phone call at BWV!!!

[Lhargus]

We always use a Sams Club pre-paid phone card for all our calls, even at home. The cost is only 3.7 cents per minute and the cards are ATT so you have good quality.

When you purchase the card at Sams Club it is activated at check out and you can use it right away. When you want to add minutes it's an easy transaction over the phone using a credit card.

We couldn't be happier with this card..

I'm sorry I didn't answer all your questions.

There is no access charge to use the card (unless you are at a pay phone and they just add a few minutes to the call).

You dial an 800 number than a 1 for english than your pin number on the back of the card than a 1 for a USA call than the area code and number. Before the call connects you are told how many minutes you have left.

I know it sounds like a lot of dialing but it's easier than you would think. At home we have most of it programed in speed dial.

I have a Sprint digital cellular service which has nationwide free long-distance calling. I got it to replace my regular cell phone and my long-distance phone calls from home because I thought our rates were too high. It works great. I have used it in Orlando and Seattle, as well as many other cities and never had a problem. It is really reasonable, they have plans as low as $30 a month and it is nice to have an extra phone line in case someone needs to reach us while we are on the Internet.

Here's another plug for Sam's Club calling cards.

I started using calling cards when I was living in a college dorm and there was no long distance service. Since then, I'm always on the lookout for good calling card terms - seems like there's always a catch (high connection fee, short expiration date, etc).

Sam's Club cards are in the neighborhood of 4 cents a minute or less with online sales, don't expire, have no surcharge other than a couple minutes for a payphone call. I use them at home now - we also programmed it into our speed dial. Even 10 cents a minute seems high to me now!

If you don't have a Sam's membership Walmart has a comparable product with higher rates - not sure how much higher.

We also use the Sam's card from home and also when we are traveling. We have our whole family using these. I have never had a problem with them and feel it is the least expensive way for us to go!! Check them out!

This is a great thread for me!

I change my cell plan n I am going to Florida. My cell paln allows you to change your plan with them (not cancel, just change to another option).

This way, wehn we go to Disney, I pay my regualr phone bill, get my regular minutes, free nights and weekends, but have coast to coast calling.

I love the freedom this gives me to call whenever I want. (You should have seen the cell phone action at DisCon) I program all my Disney numbers into the phone, so I do not have to keep looking them up, and I never use the room phone!

We use SAM's also. I think I saw that they had cards in packs of 10 with 50mins each for the same low per minute charge. These are a good idea because each family can have one. We use the Sam's card at home during the day and cell phone at night.

OT Tip: Get call forwarding, for your land line, and have calls forwarded to your cell phone and it will ring while your online. No need for a second line. I do it and it works great.
