They have what is the equivalent of a prepaid calling card. The rate is 3.9 cents a minute in the continental US state to state or within your state. Great international rates as well. You can sign up for as little as $5.00. Works just like a calling card - toll free number, then your pin which is your phone number plus a 4 number assigned to it. Then when prompted, you punch in the phone number you want. Neat thing is that it tells you how much money you have left on your card, how many minutes you have left based on the rate of the number you are calling, and a list of your calls are IMMEDIATELY available at the web-site. The only drawback is sometimes the circuits are busy. I think I have told too many people about it. So..you always need a back up method of calling in case that happens - go back to the 5 cents a minute deals. Also the prices are tax included! When it works it's great!
