Phone Cards and Credit Card Calling
Phone cards and credit card calling are available for long distance calling, especially if you are away from home. You apply for a phone card through your local phone company, a long distance company, or through your credit card. With one of these cards you'll be able to make a long distance call from a telephone booth--often a special credit card booth--without having to carry or deposit money. You'll have to dial a long string of numbers to activate this service, and sometimes it can cost twice as much as calling from a regular telephone. If you are at someone else's home, and you need to make a long distance call, it is courteous to use a phone card if you have one.
