I seem to remember a CNN report about the phone companies trying to crack down on this...maybe it 's just me? >MTC Passport and MTC OneCard >Do you make international calls? If you are doing them via your country's >phone company you are probably paying too much. >And you need not pay that much! >We have a solution for you : MTC Passport and MTC OneCard. Both offer the >following : >- The lowest rates for phone calls outside of Europe - the savings can > be greater than 70%! >- Easy to use >- No start-up, membership or monthly fees >- No modification to your existing phone installation >- No extra hardware needed >- Detailed billing >How does it work? >When you become a user, you receive an assigned number in the United >States. When you wish to make a call, you call this number free of charge, >let it ring for a few seconds and then hang up. The system calls you back >and gives you a dialtone. From there you dial the number and benefit from >the remarkably lower American ra tes. This procedure is called >"call-back". >MTC Passport >This service is linked to your telephone number. When you call the number >in the United States, the system knows, without answering, who is calling >to request a line. The only condition for this service is that your >monthly usage should be at least 25 US dollars. That is not a membership >or monthly fee : if you use less than 25 USD, then your bill is still 25 >USD. If you use the service for 27 USD, then you pay only 27 USD. If you >make less than the equivalent of 25 USD of overseas phone calls per month, >then the MTC OneCard is more advantageous for you. >MTC OneCard >The MTC OneCard is comparable to other telephone credit cards - except >that you pay less! To use it, you call a toll-free number in the country >you are in and you are connected to the system. After entering your card >number, you may : >- Dial a number directly - you receive a dialtone and dial the number. > You are connected immediately. >- Ask for a call-back - you enter the number where you are, and within > a few seconds the system calls you back. You obtain a dialtone, dial the > number you wish to reach and get connected immediately. >There is no minimum use for this service, but a charge of $2,50 >per call-back requested. You can make several calls in one >callback - so even if you only make one overseas call in a month, >you are still saving! Considering the savings, this $2,50 charge is >gained back in savings after 2 or 3 minutes of conversation! >How much can I save ? >On average, 50% to 70% over the rates of your country's PTT. Feel free to >e-mail us at 72077,1366 or jean@xs4all.nl to obtain the rates for the >countries you call. >How to apply >To use these services you must have a credit card : Visa, Eurocard, >American Express or Diner�s Club. The costs of your phone calls are billed >in US dollars on your statement and converted to your local currency by >your credit card company. You will find below an application form.
