Phone Booth

You know I hardly think about Phone Cards anymore. In my mind, everyone has a cell phone these days, I mean, let’s face it, phone booths are extinct in this country, and you can probably count on one hand the number of payphones in your neighborhood.  But, recently when I took a train trip to Detroit, there was a two hour layover in Chicago and I wanted to check in with relatives to let them know everything was fine.

So, I whipped out my trusty cell phone, only to realize it was now roaming, and even though my calling plan doesn’t charge me roaming fees, whenever your cell phone is on roam, it eats up battery life with the quickness. Like a football team about to score, my battery was in the red zone and blinking frantically! Then I remembered a sweet deal I had in my purse.

Luckily for me I had just won a contest that rewarded everyone with Calling Cards. My life saving Calling Cards were in my purse. For those who know me, understand that my purse is like a jungle, everything lives in there! However, I had the presence of mind to file it away in my wallet, so it was easy access this time. Just by having it saved me from having to make a phone call with an already dying cell phone.

You may not have been fortunate enough to have won a calling card, but every since that incident at the train station, I have been noticing lots of International Phone Cards. Its as if my eyes suddenly navigate to them in stores, online, everywhere. Hopefully, you won’t have a situation like I did. But just in case, consider keeping Phone Cards in your wallet or purse.
