Calling Now Phone Card
People with family or friends overseas spend more than $2 billion a year
on prepaid phone cards. But Consumer Reports found some enticing cards
can be a pricey way to phone home.
Mary Meza uses phone cards to call her family in the Dominican
Republic. But she complains she doesn't always get as much calling time
as she expects.
"I get really angry because I think it's not fair," she said.
Consumer Reports analyzed more than 130 prepaid phone cards. Most cost
just $2 to $5. They look like bargains, but Consumer Reports found lots
of problems.
"Three quarters of the cards we looked at
didn't tell you how much it cost to make a call. You usually never found
out until you were on the phone," said Robert Tiernan of Consumer
Reports.
