Before you buy a Phone Card check out this charges:

• Connection Fee: Many cards charge at least 50¢ for connection and in some cases even more each time you make a call.
• Pay Phone Surcharge: Many cards charge an additional fee of at least 50¢ per call for each call made from a pay phone.
• Maintenance Fees: Some cards charge a weekly "maintenance fee" after the card is first used. If you use the card only occasionally, this fee can add up.
• Rounding: Most cards round up a call to the next minute. Some cards use six minute rounding. This means a one minute call will be charged as a six minute call.
