WESTWOOD, Mass.-Cellular One in Boston has launched a no-credit-required calling card service that allows cellular phone users to pay in advance for airtime.
With the prepaid calling card, customers establish a minimum of $50 balance. Each time customers place or receive a call, the costs are automatically deducted, said Cellular One. If customers already have a cellular phone, customers can sign up for the card for $90, which includes the $50 balance and $40 service establishment fee. Cellular One said it charges 65 cents for a daily access fee.
At the beginning of each call, an account balance announcement informs customers of the number of minutes remaining in their account. At the end of each call, a similar announcement informs them of their balance, Cellular One said.
Cellular One in Boston is majority owned by Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems.
