Most local telcos offer their own cards, and many are cheaper to use than a long distance company's. I recently called United Telephone of PA to order a card. It was explained to me that the charge for a call was $.30, as opposed to the higher charge that MCI bills me for local calls. I'm not sure if the United Telephone card can be used for long distance calls, however. I'll probably end up using both cards depending on what type of call I'm making. (I'll post a note after I get my new card.) Bell of Pennsylvania also offers its own "IQ (sm) Card". I'm not sure of the details on that one, however. Sean E.
