My AT&T platinum credit/calling card charged me 3.96 for a 1 second call from Arizona to Burbank IL. I called that number and the person was not home. I tried thier cell phone no answer either but AT&T charged me another 3.96 for it also. What kind of crap is that?
And this has to do with the Caribbean how? Well I been to St John, spent a week there and enjoyed it. So if you have any q's let me know. Happy Easter.

Horror stories like this are why I've switched to using prepaid cards. Buy my AT&T cards at Sam's Club and currently paying 3.4 cents per minute - tough to beat. There's a 6 unit surcharge when calling from payphones but it still beats any Telco's regular calling card by a long shot.

Those AT&T prepaid phone cards aren't great either. I bought cards for my trip to Italy, one worked, one didn't. When I returned to the States, I tried it again & it still didn't work. Called AT&T customer service & they told me to return it at the store where it was purchased. I didn't have the receipt anymore but luckily, the Sav-On manager refunded me the money because I wasn't the first person trying to return a defective calling card.

Hmmm... maybe a quality control problem or some other issue with certain cards? I've been using them for the past 2 - 3 years and also giving them to my college aged daughter. Have gone through a dozen or so and never had a problem but I always bought mine at Sam's Club (and when I use it the automated menu system always identifies it as a Sam's Club AT&T card).

We've been using the AT&T 100-minute calling cards for about a year now. Buy 'em off eBay, generally 5 at a time, for a price that works out to about $4/card delivered.
My wife calls England with them, though I can't remember the rate.
What we really like is a $15/month phone bill.
