I was wondering if there is an interest in pre-paid phonecards out there.
I have a friend who is selling pre-paid phonecards with amounts > $10.  To
use this card one calls an 800 number and then punch in a pin number and
then they can dial which every number they wish.  The amount is
automatically deducted from the card account.  Apparently they do not
charge you an access fee and the rates are cheaper than AT&T standard
rates.  They made a comparison for daytime cross country calls and the
savings appear to be about 50%.  When the card runs down, the person can
just charge more time on their credit card.  The cards apparently also have
collector's value.  There is a one time setup fee for the card, but if you
make enough calls one can recoup those fees rather quickly.  If anyone is
interested please email me and I can get them the appropriate information.
My friend currently does not have a email account, but she will once she
gets people signed up on the cards.  I apologize if this sounds like an
advertisement, but I'm just helping out a friend.  Thanks in advance.
