AboutSpencer Holcombe Expertise Hi, thanks for checking me out, I have several years in the telecom industry, working for Pacific Telephone,American Bell,AT&T,AT&T Communications,AT&T Information Systems, and Pacific Bell-SBC. I can answer most questions regarding Telephones,wiring,jacks,PBX, Local and Long Distance,Billing,Custom calling services, Customer Service,and Fraud. I can`t answer Cellular questions.
Just started looking at prepaid phone cards. Sam's Club offers AT&T card - 1,000 minutes at about 4 cents a minute.
Are there drawbacks to using these cards for all long distance calls? Why do people still shop around for long-distance rate plans instead of just purchasing a phone card?
Thanks!

Answer Hi, the answer is simple-ease of use! Some people (I'm one) don't like dialing extra digits to make a call, others don't want to have to remember a code or carry a card to speak on the phone. Also, others don't belong to a "discount" club or have access to buy a card. Spentelco
