Why prepaid? Why not just a regular calling card? I assume they still have these. I used to use one - AT&T - years ago. Probably still have it somewhere, but we just use cellphones now (free long distance). We have found places where cellphones don't work though, but that is rare now-a-days. You don't need to carry the actual card if you don't want. Just write down the numbers on notecards and slip copies into various wallets, purses, kits, etc. You don't pay anything up front (at least you didn't have to). Never use the card - never pay a thing - nothing to expire on you. Rates were the same as regular long distance from your home (I think), not the inflated rates/hidden fees of some to the prepaid cards. Things may have changed over the years, I'm telling you stuff about regular calling cards as they existed BEFORE cellphones where the norm.
