Pre-paid phone cards – make them work for you

Pre-paid telephone cards are highly regarded among college kids, frequent travelers or just by anybody who would like to save on their long distance and world calls. Chargeable pre-paid telephone cards are particularly industrial as the mins that are added after buying the card are commonly more cost effective.

As an example, an AT & T pre paid telephone cards can be bought at most Wal-Mart stores at a price of roughly $.08 per minute. When recharged, the mins average $.05 each. Instead of paying the higher charges with the telephone company, the user can have their modem dial using the calling card and then connecting to the web. This can save serious cash as it’ll eliminate any long distance charges on the hotel bill.

Some cellular telephones, for example Tracfone, operate on a pre paid basis. For each local call, one minute of talk time is the same as one unit ( or minute ) of pre-paid service. To attempt to attenuate the cost, some cell telephone owners go for programming pre paid calling cards into their telephone and dialing out using the toll-free number. Global rates will be higher with pre-paid telephone cards, but will probably be less than that of a cellular or regular telephone service. Along that very same line, pre-paid telephone cards are also helpful in sending faxes. The same rules apply with long distance fax numbers, which can be dear thru local telephone firms. The employment of pre paid telephone cards can regularly reduce these costs. Toll-free numbers are free at payphones, so if you finds yourself having auto difficulty or needing to get in contact with somebody and the sole telephone nearby is a payphone, do not worry about having the correct quantity of coins or having to call collect. If you’ve a prepaid telephone card with you, the call will be routed thru the toll-free number at no further cost to either you or the person whom you are calling.

So you want to save the world? Here’s what you’ve got to do…

I have been following the T Case Series over at http://bravenewclimate.com, and it is fantastic stuff.

The posts (7 so far) are well-written and there are lots of insightful comments which take the ideas further. I totally recommend them!

When Windows’ Defrag Just Isn’t Enough

While Windows comes with a basic defragmentation utility, it leaves a lot to be desired–it’s slow and sucks up a lot of resources, among other faults. Thankfully, there are other solutions, one of which is Diskeeper 6.0. PC 911 cleans up their drives to bring you this review.
