Once they have your email address, they'll send you offers like this regularly (more often in the winter).

It's likely that each company has decided to honor coupons from its competitor. They both hand them out like candy anyway.

I'll willing to take the one you don't want.

Hey, I call it Monroeville, too. :) But technically most of the stores on Rt. 22 there are in Wilkins Twp and they get all huffy when people call it Monroeville. But I always have, and probably always will.

Ooh, Wilkins Township HATES it when you call it Monroeville! :) <-- Swissvale boy.

I can't imagine why anyone would second-guess Brad and RossMAN for doing what they did. It's real easy to tell someone else to stand up to a corporation when you aren't the one on the hook for legal fees. If Brad and RossMAN feel the wise thing to do is to take the ad down, so be it. Let any animosity be directed at the company who started the commotion.

Picked up the card last night. It was cheaper in the store than on their website (card was $22.71) and the pay phone surcharge is actually 33 minutes, not 31 as I was told by AT&T over the phone. Cost per minute came to 2.8 cents. That's some pretty cheap LD.

Yes, I verified the payphone surcharge on that 800-minute AT&T card from Sam's. It comes to $1.08 (31 minutes) but the per-minute charge is so low it's still worth it.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I'm going with that 800 minute AT&T card from Sam's Club.

That one has a nice low payphone surcharge but I'm trying to stay away from connection fees and maintenance fees. In this case, with most calls being made from a payphone, the connection fee + payphone fee = $1.24 per call each time. I appreciate the link.

I have a friend who's down on his luck and temporarily living at a YMCA. He needs a phone card in order to make calls which I'll be providing. All his calls will be from a pay phone and I need to find a card with a comparatively low pay phone surcharge. That's probably more important than the per-minute rate since the card I bought him Saturday at the drugstore charges the equivalent of $1.80 to call from a pay phone. (I know, that's outrageous). That one was 10c/minute but the pay phone surcharge is draining the card at an alarming rate. I tried searching around but it quickly became obvious that it will take me eternity to wade through the millions of hits on Google. My wish list is - pay phone surcharge under a buck, decent per-minute rate, no connection fee, no expiration date. I was looking at the AT&T card from Sam's Club. 800 minutes for $27.76. No connection fee, no expiration, about 3.5c/minute, one-minute billing. The payphone surcharge is 30 minutes (=$1.04). Thanks in advance for any better suggestions.
