Get Minimum Service on Your Home Phone

Evey, I went to Dollar Tree yesterday to purchase several of the 99 minutes for $1.00 long distance calling cards. The district manager was there and told me they do not have such a calling card. They only have the 35 minutes for $1.00. I was in Houston, TX.

I'd like to know which Dollar Tree store you purchased your calling cards from. Seems to me that the district manager would be aware of the card you posted about. I have to tell you he looked at me like I was in dreamland. Again, I would very much appreciate you letting me know which store you purchased these calling cards from.

Thanks,
TEXY

Evey,

I had already made the change on internet service (like you) and have been thinking about making some changes on the home phone (thinking like you also in wanting to cut costs). My question is what do you tell AT&T when they ask who you want for your long distance carrier? Several years ago I tried this, and they gave me a hard time about it when I said "no one". Then they charged an outragous amount per minute for the very few long distance calls I did make. Just wondered what the current "correct" answer is for a carrier or how they bill if you don't chose a carrier? I'd really appreciate any info or advice as I hope to make this change soon.

Also, THANKS so much for the tip on Dollar Tree minute cards! I shop there sometimes but never noticed minute cards there before. I'll sure be looking next time I go!

What company do you get your high speed internet for only $15?

Another thing about prepaid phone cards...if you're going on vacation in a place with no cell phone reception, you're stuck without a phone card. I spent a couple weeks in the mountains in western North Carolina in a cabin with a phone, but I had to go back out to get a phone card because my cell wouldn't work at all...no matter where I tried. Just a thought if you might be in that situation.

Golly, what a great tip. I never thought about using Dollar Tree for phone cards! I've been hunting for 'cheap' minutes, and the best I can do, instate, is 5 cents a minute, BUT it uses up to 37 minutes PLUS per phone call. TOO EXPENSIVE!! Thanks for the tip! Carol
