Phone Cards for the International Businessman
Not too long ago the media
theorist Marshall McLuhan envisaged a world that would be a Global
Village. McLuhan’s vision of a Global Village has become an everyday
reality and phone cards have become an indispensable commodity in the
way business is conducted in an increasingly globalized world.
Calling cards make the long distance relationship last
Do you remember what long-distance relationships used to be like? It
seemed as though the US Mail and AT&T had a complete monopoly over your
relationship. Those were the days when people still got excited about
the arrival of the mailman. Those were also the days when your phone
bill could drive you to the verge of bankruptcy. But calling cards have
changed all of that.
How calling cards are promoting academic research
If you had to list a few of the early pioneers of the Internet, it’s
unlikely that Lyndon B. Johnson would be at the top of your list. But in
fact it was Lyndon B. Johnson, who said "we must consider new ways to
build a great network for knowledge-not just a broadcast system, but one
that employs every means of sending and of storing information that the
individual can rise." LBJ saw this network of a means by which academics
could share knowledge.
Rechargeable calling cards help avoid uncomfortable situations
If you’ve been in a long distance relationship and have relied on
calling cards to keep in touch, then the following scenario is probably
very familiar to you. You’re talking to your girlfriend, who’s studying
in Paris for a semester. The weather in Paris has been rainy and damp
for two weeks straight, she misses you, her friends, and in general
everything seems pretty bleak. When all is so gloomy, it’s natural for
her to start wondering about your faithfulness. She asks: "Are you
seeing anyone?"
Pinless calling cards make life easier for people whose memory isn’t
what it used to be
If your grandparents are like most grandparents, then you know how hard
it is for them to remember things. They forget which day of the week it
is, loose 'phone numbers, and can’t keep track of birthdays anymore. The
older you get, the more numbers seem to give you a harder time.
Expecting them to remember their pin number for the calling card is just
setting them up for disaster. That’s why pinless calling cards are a
great way to make sure your grandparents can reach you whenever they
want.
Prepaid phone cards – A great way to support the troops
We all know that American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq put their lives
at risk each and every day. What most people don’t know, however, is how
much they get paid for their service overseas. The base pay for a
private with one year of service is approximately $15,480 a year. This
is just slightly more than an average movie usher’s salary at 15,080 a
year. As many soldiers have to support families back home on their
salaries, there isn’t a lot of money left over for keeping in touch.
