New Unlimited Phone Card Will Shake Up Industry!

Europhone USA, an MVNO, phone card distributor and authorized Verizon Fios dealer based out of Port Chester NY, announced yesterday that they plan to introduce an unlimited prepaid phone card to the US market. The card will be available in a $5 version which will give a weeks worth of unlimited calling, and a $20 card which will deliver a months worth of unlimited calling. It averages out to a cost to the consumer of about $0.72 a day.

The card will include unlimited calling to about 40 destinations worldwide but unfortunately I could not find any details yet of what those countries are from either the press release or their website http://www.europhoneusa.com/.

Depending on the countries that are included this card is sure to disrupt the prepaid calling card market in the USA by continuing to devalue the cost of long distance calls. Unlimited phone cards have been tried before and most have failed and I doubt the provider here will be able to sustain this one for long but nevertheless the damage to the overall industry will be felt by this. Hey I am all for giving the consumer a good deal but not when it means that you loose money in doing so!
