Helpful Tidbits to Pass On
Phone Cards. AT&T has a special deal for service members and their familys. Click here for more info.
Also, The Defense Department has authorized the Armed Services Exchanges to sell prepaid calling cards to any individual or organization that wishes to purchase cards for troops who are deployed. More on that here.
NOTE on AT&T Cards: "If a soldier wants to get minute for minute on his card he need only call the customer service number on his card, hit "0" and it may ask for his pin number (or they'll need it handy). He tells the Customer service Rep that he is calling from Iraq/Afghanistan on a military camp or base and they will make the call for him at a one to one ratio. If he/she doesn't choose to do that and they call the regular 800 number on the back of the card in the instructions they will be paying an 18 to 1 ratio. That means, instead of it costing 3.9c a minute it will cost 70+c a minute."
