Do Calling Cards quietly change their rates "skyward" very often?

I was going to get this called known as the "Royal Call" card by ECC .. I found it on a phone calling card site. Their rates are good (I live in Canada):





· No Connection Fee


· No Maintenance Fee


· Service Taxes %26amp; Surcharges - 10%


· Rounding - 1 minutes


· Validity period - Unlimited (**)


· Toll Free Access Numbers - Yes (USA/Canada) (*)


· Local Access Numbers


· Pay Phone Charge - No in Canada, may be applied in USA





The question is...do these calling cards change their rates higher often without telling you?

Do Calling Cards quietly change their rates "skyward" very often?
Yes, that is how the phone card industry works. It's a bait and switch unfortunately. That's why the average lifespan of a phone card is about 4 to 5 months. A lot a people will start buying the phone card and get used to it, then after a month or two, the quality will start to deteriorate and the rates will increase. This is how they make their money. Once people catch on and stop buying the card, the phone card company will make a new card and do the same thing all over again.





I personally got sick of this and decided to go with something more reliable. I found http://www.Tel3Advantage.us to be outstanding. Their rates are very competitive and there are no hidden costs whatsoever. The rates go down if anything.





They do provide service in Canada too.





Try them and let me know what you think.
