I agree...highway robbery by ATT. As much as they can charge Stateside at times, they can afford to give our military a bit of a break, IMHO!
Is that the only phone card access you have? I have an inquiring mind. *grin*

I think I'll call the number on the back of my card just for kicks. Time for bed for me. God bless you all for protecting me and my freedoms.

Yep... that's the only card access we have. And, to top it off, there are only a select few Sailor Phones on the ship. But, I have to say, that I remember my first ship back in the 80's that we only had INMARSAT at (ready for this.....) $35.00 a minute!! We also utilized HAM radios for when we were close to shore and could pick up other HAM radio operators who could then patch a call stateside.

You have freepmail and hotmail. :)
To: bkwells
Oooops! I got involved with e-mails to some of the folks I've been corresponding with and forgot to check back here. Sorry!
Thanks for the info on the cards. It's something we all needed to know about.
OUCH!! $35 a minute is outrageous!!!! It sure makes today's rates seem like nothing, doesn't it? LOL!
I hope all's well with you and the crew! :-))

I've made up my mind I'm not stepping out of the house today. It's 9 degrees now with a wind chill below zero...and the high's only going to be around 15 degrees!!
I feel like I went to sleep in TN. and woke up in Alaska! LOL!!

Coldest temps we've had in a few years. They're calling for -2 and colder for tonight.
This kind of weather is keeping ALL these critters inside for a day or two, til it warms up a little. Aaaaargh! That means they'll be underfoot! It tends to get a little dangerous when they're all inside. LOL!

You are soooo right about pre-paid phone cards. I used them for years. Now if I could just convince my hubby they're the way to go.....
