The Future of International Calling | Pinless Prepaid Minutes
Phone cards as we know them today
Phone cards have been around for what may seem forever. They’re a great way to make long distance and international calling without having a long distance calling plan. Most people are familiar with them and have used them. They’ve certainly evolved over the years, with an endless supply of different programs, providing the “best rate” to your home country! While this sounds great, there are some disadvantages for the average customer with traditional phone cards. There are hidden fees (ones to connect and disconnect); and rates change frequently, to the extent that customers don’t know how many minutes they’ll actually get for that $5 card.
Retailers that service the immigrant population (those who probably use the cards the most frequently) have the hassle of maintaining card inventory and dealing with prepaid reps on an on-going basis.
The Future | Pinless, Cardless Prepaid
So what if you could have a virtual prepaid phone card – with no pins to remember? Sounds pretty good doesn’t it. Krush Communications, who has been marketing prepaid phone cards for over 10 years, is now offering what they call Pinless Prepaid, or Homies No Mas Pin.
Customers simply visit their local retailer where they provide:
|
1. Their cell phone or land-line number |
2. Pay for minutes (in any denomination) |
3. Dial access number and begin calling internationally |
The best part of the program – no hidden fees – you actually get to use the minutes you buy for actual conversations. In addition, customers can benefit from adding additional phone numbers for free to the program (so you can call from home, multiple cell phones or work all using the same minutes), and take advantage of the speed dial feature – dial just 2 digits per call, rather than 10-20 for international numbers.
Homies retailers are currently offering a $1 free promo – so customers can try out the program for free. And great news for retailers – they don’t have to pre-fund an account; rather they get ACH’d weekly.
While there are a few other pinless prepaid programs out there, this one looks the best bet for consumers. And for full disclosure, AllTrust is now offering this service. For more on the Homies No Mas Pin program visit www.alltrustnetworks.com/pinless.
