100 prepaid phone card minutes= a hill of beans

So the story goes I bought a 100 minute prepaid phone card from Ralf's for $7.00 with the intent to call SQ down under. Suzye gave me the number in which to call and I figured out the country and city codes to complete the call. After dialing seven hundred thirty-four numbers I am told that I have "sixteen minutes for this call." Fine. I understand that it being an international call that it would cost more but realize that I lost 84% of my entire minutes available, outrageous. But fine, whatever, at least I'll get to hear my precious baby's voice right? WRONG. Every time I call it says that "the number you are trying to reach is busy." So this means that Suzye (or Hattie) has been on the phone for five+ hours... I don't think so. At least I hope not. About five minutes ago I tried once more and this time I somehow had seven minutes available, while still being unable to complete the call.

If anyone knows about these sort of things and how to avoid wasting your hard-earned money, please share your knowledge with a bra.

p.s. Hulu is shit. Not the shit, but shit. I gave you my personal information with the hopes of being able to watch full episodes of futurama and what do I get? Clips?
Dick move.

  1. Hey Randy! I am dealing with the same thing with Hal in England. If Suzy had a cell phone you are calling the rate is very high. It is best if you can call a land line and then your minutes will go farther. As far as the busy signal, that usually means that you have either the country or the city code wrong. If it is a cell phone, the city may be different than where she actually is. Anyway, sharing what I know for what it is worth.

    I hope we get to see more of you with Kale back this summer!

  2. Baby I'm sorry! I will try and find some way to call you. What a bastard of a calling card! Now I can stop crying because I know the reason why you aren't calling me every night, ahaha.
