Edmonton Immigrant Services Association: Phone Cards

Yolande Lawson-Body Dept: A sample of cards bought by News had extra fees, charges and conditions that reduced their advertised value, in violation of Alberta law. 'You don t complain it s only $2.50' Yolande Lawson-Body', according to CBC. When I first moved here I had no internet, and was totally dependent on my calling cards, said Poushali Mitra, Program Coordinator at Edmonton Immigrant Services Association and pre-paid long-distance phone cards that deliver only a fraction of the calling time they promise are still being sold in Edmonton-area stores. The cards, different from those from major phone companies, are sold in convenience stores and are especially popular with recent immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
