| What is a calling card? |
|

|
A calling card is very much like a credit card, the difference being that it is issued by a Bell operating companies, like Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. These cards serve the purpose of charging local and long distance calls. Normally, the card holds the number of the telephone number where you usually receive your phone bills to where the calls will be charged. Additionally, it has a four digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) which is used whenever a call is made with the card. This PIN is often the last four digits of your phone number, although for security reasons, many calling card companies are now replacing these PIN digits with random numbers.In some cases, calls made with calling cards are more expensive than normal phone rates, but in other cases it is cheaper. The toll will depend on the company which issues the cards.
