Is your vision 20/20?

Is your vision 20/20? ... Maybe not. On September 15, 2006, 20/20 calling card by Group of Goldline was removed from Phone Card Depot's prepaid phone card inventory after it was added only a month earlier (Phone Card Depot adds 20/20 calling card to inventory). This card was removed because of an abundance of hidden fees.





Callingcardreviews.org reviews 20/20 as follows:
"This card is an absolute MESS. It reminds me of a certain cousin who always gets drunk at family reunions. In both cases, I want to scream “TAKE IT EASY”! All cards exist for a purpose, though, so if you can find extremely low rates to your fav. destinations and the fees work out for you, cautiously give this a try…"


So, why do people buy 20/20? I will get to this in the next paragraph, but please see the fees below. Even the most novice phone card user can tell that this card may have some surprises up it's sleeve. You will see that most charges kick in only after the 4th minute, so maybe this card is good for calls less than 4 minutes long like "come and pick me up". Not so fast, after the first minute, the card rounds up 3 minutes and pushes you over the 4th minute threshold.

20/20 Calling Card Fees
  1. Maintenance Fee: 30 cents / day
  2. Service Charge: 39 cents to $1.29 after the fourth minute of each call
  3. Admin Charge: 30% after fourth minute of each call

Why do People buy 20/20?
People buy 20/20 because they think the card is the same as a similarly named card "20/20 Plus" yes, "Plus". 20/20 Plus is a very good card with no hidden fees and great low rates.
