Warning on pre-paid calling cards
Before you buy any pre-paid calling cards, keep in mind that
the calling card company may go bankrupt or be shutdown and
you risk losing your money. This happened many times in 1996.
The following guidelines may help you reduce your risk:
- Don't buy cards that require large amount of deposit.
- Buy the card only when you need to call;
use up the card as soon as possible and don't keep them for too long.
- Use credit cards to pay whenever possible. Credit card companies may
help you get your money back in case the calling card company is
out of business.
