Long Distance Solutions for College Parents
College
Parents - Supporting your children in college is not an easy task. We understand first hand the
struggle of making ends meet during college. Though there are many costs associated with a higher
education, large phone bills should not be one of them. Many of you have tried to help out by
providing your kids with your calling card, only to be surprised by the large bill 30 days later.
Others have been asked for money to help pay for the apartment phone bill. Money is a precious
resource in college, and saving as much of it as possible is what we want you to do.
Rule #1. NEVER ever let your loved ones call home collect, or by 1-800-COLLECT for that
matter. Collect calls have at least a $4.95 connection fee for EACH call, and that is one expense that
can add up in a hurry. Shop For Cheap Rates .com recommends that you set up your own personalized toll
free number with Power Net Global for only 4.5
cents/min. This will allow your children to call home for free, and you will save up to 75%
over collect or calling card calls! And for the calls you make away from home, we recommend a billed
calling card (as opposed to prepaid). Let the CogniCall
Calling Card become your own portable long distance pass, allowing you to call anywhere, anytime
for just 7.8 cents/min.
For those of you who wish to initiate a budget for your long distance usage, we
recommend the MetroCall Prepaid Calling Card (2.9
cents/min). The MetroCall Calling Card comes in $20 denominations for your convenience.
