Question about PHONE CARDS?

Have you had strange experiences with minutes mysteriously disappearing from your phone card? Like one call, you have 700 minutes left, and the next call you have 600, even though you only made a short call in between? I think some of these cards are pretty fraudulent. I did have one card that took me instantly from $10 to nothing at all, in one phone call (the call lasted a few seconds), and then its customer service line was disconnected!

Read the fine print. That 700 minutes is probably 700 units. They may also charge you units for call set up or ring no answers. Thats where your "minutes" are going.

Reply:When this happens it's because you are not using minutes but units. Cards usually take away an insane amount of units even if the call didn't go through.
Reply:Using it on a payphone or a home phone or operator assisted all have different charges. Its the minutes game that all telcos play.
Reply:If your calling from a pay phone then your minutes get used up, they have surchages on phone cards when you call from a payphone. I've seen some where it's 14 minutes for the call and 32 minutes when you call.
Reply:I've had the same thing happen to me before, it's like the other person said if you're calling from a payphone they charge extra minutes, and if that's not the case then i don't know what's up. maybe you could report it to the better business bureau.
