I keep seeing the commercials for this....3 cents a minute, 39 cents a connect, anywhere including western Europe. Sounds way too good to be true. Went to the web sites and there it is, in black and white...they say England, Italy, Spain, Greece, Germany....name it....3 cents a minute from US. Can't seem to find any 'disclaimer' or bad press about the 'lies' thus far....but this is an astonishing price! Has anyone any knowledge or use of this service? If it is for real this could be a real money saver for those trying to make bookings in Europe prior to start of trip. 3 cents is almost laughable isn't it?

yes... you know the old saying though, If it sounds too good to be true...

anyway, you might find this link an interesting read

Exactly as I thought Patrick! Too good to be true, 3 cents is laughable indeed! If you are charged for a 25 minute call, no matter the length, or if the rates are much higher if under that 'magic' number.....well then it is a whole 'nuther ball game. I didn't see that codicle on their site....hence my post, I just knew there had to be something somewhere!

Thanks, Patrick!

that link provides some good info! it's clear that 101-5335 is a much better deal. although, that 10 minute minimum isn't so good.

I can see why they'd be throwing deals (or fake deals) around though. I mean now I just use the internet mostly if I want to talk to people when I'm away. Last trip I took I spent about 9 dollars on the Internet for about 2 hours total and it would have got me about 2 mins of phone time.

how does that "use the internet" work?
