[pct-l] phone cards

[hkrbob@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Bob Turner)]

One of the best buys for phone cards is from Costco.  575 minutes costs
about 3 cents a minutes $19.95.  Any payphone surcharge (usually about 75
cents) is subtracted from the minutes you have on the card.  I used one when
I traveled a lot last year.  You can recharge teh card with a credit card at
the same rate.  The only drawback it it is a lot of numbers to punch in and
hard to see in the dim light of a nighttime phone booth.
