PINS ONLINE
Lots of changes to the website are now
underway. We engaged the software development firm FREEWEBSHOP
to establish our new online PINs purchasing program www.cleanphonecard.com
While under development I was unable to make normal updates to the
international rates, or for that matter I was unable to update any portion
of our website. We are now back to weekly or daily updates.
Thank you for your understanding.
Our clients can now purchase PINs directly online. An important
feature is that websites who link to us, will be able to earn a commission
each time a phone card is sold!
Private Label Phone Card - Using
a consultative approach, we will handle any or all of your Private lable phone card
project from design to distribution, including carrier rate deck negotiation.
We have just completed building an El Salvador phone card product
"DuraMas" for
our clients in Washington DC for distribution in the DC and Philadelphia areas.
Looking for distributors nationwide. Ask for Bob at 216-524-9292.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THESE GUYS
I'm supposed to be a pretty smart guy. Then how come I get taken so
easily by phone card crooks. (My carrier/issuer Cleveland based
NCC aka Acetel, aka Bud Dworkin just crashed.) I don't think its
greed. I don't think its stupidity. I think its cause I just
want to make people happy. Being able to sell a phone card cheaper
than the next guy, is after all, what its all about. If someone
wanted to pay a fair price for a long distance call, they'd buy it from
AT&T or Sprint or MCI. But why do these guys go out of business
so fast. Same reason... Everyone wants to be the big shot who gives
30 minutes to India on a $10 card. It just aint so. It still
costs about $.45 a buck to make a minute to India, unless you are calling
some place like Bangalore, which you can get for about a quarter...we're
talking carrier cost! So add to that $.45 an inbound 800 cost of
about 3 cents a minute, and you have the true cost of a call to India...
$.48 cents a minute for sub-standard calling. Now that means you can
put about 21 minutes on a $10 phone card, except the issue only collects
about $7.50 on that card assuming 25% discount! Either he's a gonna
lose money or he's a gonna hack time, or he's a gonna not pay his carrier.
Pick any two!
POSTER
We updated our POSTER
files with a bunch of poster scans directly from the card issuers.
Check back often to get the new rates you need to sell phone cards.
USA GOLD
USA Gold is currently our best selling domestic card. The market wanted a
1.9 cent per minute card with no gimmicks or hidden charges and this is it. The
connection charge is 45 cents per call. The weekly maintenance fee of 49 cents is
applied 7 days after first use. The discounts are great, and the quality is
excellent. Network services are provided by Axistel. Available nationwide
through master distributors. Some territories still available.
New Switch Next Month
Look for the silver lining. Finally tiring of being disappointed by
issuers of phone cards hacking time, delivering poor quality, and in some
cases cards just not working. Phone Card Hotline has added a new
switch. This will help us to bring you your private label cards
faster and with more flexibility. Most of all, we will have greater
control to deliver the goods to your specifications. We have good opportunities
to Mexico and South America. Call Bob for details. (Now operational
as of Feb 5th, 2001)
ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
I have been thinking about a new category of phone card companies called Democratic
Phone Card Companies. These would be phone cards that promise no
hidden charges, more minutes, great discounts, and all the other things we
all want...but eventually we find out they cheat on their distributor
partners and tax the heck out of everyone.
