You can still sign up for Sprint and on the side use a 10 10 number for your international calls , They are quite inexpensive. 10-10-834 or 10-16-868 call 1-800-569-8700 or 1-888-660-5377 for their low 24 hour a day per minute rates. On another note, Don't be surprised when you get your Sprint conformation letter saying thank you for your order and you 7 cents per minute rate is $5.95 not the $3.95 per month as mentioned. The Sprint agent I talked to says it is just a computer glitch, and not to worry as the $3.95 rate is in effect. We will see for sure when the first statement arrives.I rather eat sand then switch my long distance carrier but then again the 40,000 is worth a mouth full of dirt.
