Dave: In June I bought phone cards for 200 Lemps each. I think they had 100 minutes each, but could be mistaken. Obviously the more minutes they have the more thy will cost. Yoyu do NOT have to pay a monthly fee, but if you are away for sdeveral months., you will have to pay a reactivation fee...not all that much. Reception is excellent on a cheap Motorola I bought at Eldon's in Franch Harbour. All the best...dke http://www.thejudasbird.com On 8/15/2005 6:27 PM, Dave Elder wrote: >So I can purchase a cell phone with no monthly charges? Just a phone >card?
