Phone Card Test - International Calling Card Test

My last post gave me the idea to use this blog to collect some raw data on calling cards. If you want to participate in this test, next time you purchase a phone card, please keep track of the following, and post it here:

Name of the phone card
Denomination ($2, $5, $10, etc)
800 access number or local access number of the phone card
Issuer of the phone card
Service Provider (in fine print at the bottom)
Destination Country
Destination City
Were you calling land line or cell phone
Dialed country and city code
Where you calling from a home phone, cell phone, or pay phone.
How many minutes were announced?
How many actual minutes did you talk (use a watch)?
Did you consume the entire phone card
Is this the first call made using this phone card?
When finished with the call, how many minutes were left (to get this, attempt a second call and hang up after the available minutes is announced)

The most important items are in bold
