Dad's subscriptions are still coming in, among them Business Week. The current issue looked at the minute-eating "fees" on long-distance phone cards marketed especially to the immigrant community. As someone who depended on phone cards while living in Italy, I felt a special kind of nausea on learning about fees added when a call begins; fees charged weekly or monthly after activation; fees charged when a call ends; fees for calls that last more than 20 minutes... Had I been cheated, too?
There are plenty of reputable phone cards that do not have these hidden charges, but "caveat emptor."

Thanks to your caveat about phone card fees we can all say in unison "Caveat venditor".
