2023, sitting here watching the movie "The Thirteenth Floor". The detective mentions calling cards and of course the rabbit hole starts 😂😂. Those were the days.

Great video for looking out for the phone card customer. Just a helpful hint to compare Skype Out rates as you may be missing some additional savings by comparing virtual phone service providers online.

I work as a csr for a prepaid calling card company you would not believe what i see on a dail basis, yes it sucks but i don't make the rules, my advice...if you dont have internet and don't have the money to buy a calling plan. Buy kroger phone cards if they are vailable, you won't regret it you don't have a kroger in your local area it may be exhausting but read the terms just look for keywords of surcharges, maintanace fee etc.
