I was getting a Super Gulper at the Circle K in Oxnard California, which is across the street from a bunch of farms, etc. There is this armored booth where a company sends wire transfers to South American, and sells phone cards.
I got to looking at the rates they charge all these illegals calling home. The rates to Mexico from CA were 50 cents a minute. I almost fell over. While I realize our business has a three year plan with AT&T, our rates to the UK are 5 cents a minute, 7 cents to Germany, Canada is the same rate at US calls, 3 cents a minute.
Only does Russia cost as much as dialing Mexico, and I think it tops out at 25 cents a minute.
So you can see how much the oligarchs are raping their former citizens for.
Our office uses Vonage. There's no additional charge for calls to Canada, or France, the UK, and many other places in Europe. (I don't know about Mexico, though, since we don't have customers there now.)
you got that right!
my long distance is my cell phone. i’ve got more roll over minutes than i’ll ever use.
i wanted to call tj, but couldn’t because my cell is only domestic.
so, i called on my verizon dedicated line that i use for dsl.
2 one minute calls or less cost ~ $40.00.
never again.
