How Many Prepaid Phone Cards Deliver Full Minutes?

In a recent study conducted by the Hispanic Institute and published in many major newspapers, 45 different phone cards were selected from a variety of companies and tested to see which ones delivered the advertised minutes. To no suprise, only one third of the cards delivered the real minutes and 7 of the cards didn't work at all. In fact 8 of the cards tested delivered less than 50% of the advertised minutes.

The cards that were tested included the following:

• Florida ($5)  Telmex Compaqero, STI Florida, Touch-Tel Hondureqa, Touch-Tel Guatemalteca, Touch-Tel Salvadoreqa, Dollar Phone Coffee Time, Dollar Phone Rey, MPTAFlorida Idol, MPTA Nine, PCI Pilot, PCI Prima and TST Si Pues
• New York ($2)  Diamond Bingo, Diamond Arenque, SDI I Love NY, Lycatel Success, Lycatel Call Me, STI World, RTG Martini, RTG Cocktail and IDT Play Ball.
• Washington, DC ($2)  IDT Boss
• Toll Free ($5)  GEO Florida
