Hi!
My husband & I are planning a short trip overseas next month ... to Germany
or perhaps to Switzerland. In any event, it is important for me to have a

My DH travels a lot. he has an AT&T phone card available anywhere in the
states. He got his from Walmart. He used that to phone home. His is for 1000
minutes in the US but overseas it uses up more minutes, it would be worth 100
minutes but you can add to it at anytime with a credit card in t
