    Default Calling Card

    http://www.pennytalk.com/

    I don't know if anyone has used this before but I decided to give it a try. Only a penny per minute for US calls and 4 cents for calls to Japan (where my boyfriend is going to be over the summer). It automatically recharges itself when the balance is less than 5 dollars.

    I used a calling card last year and I was so mad. Some of the phone booths that I used them at there was a 20 dollar activation fee so it really sucked up my minutes. The worst was outside the laundry mat at N.O.C. I think it was a 40 dollar activation fee. Cant rember. I know it was high.

    Not sure how I feel about something being reloaded automatically from my credit card.

    Yes you need to be careful, alot of payphones are operated by "no name" companies and charge exorbitant fees.
