That was an easy question - I have one in my wallet as we speak...


(also, there is also an organization called Calls for Recruits, that will give you a free phone card. These cards are only good for one call, so you'll still want a normal phone card)

Thanks! I know what to look for now

Will we need these for that first call home when we arrive?

For the I first call home you can either use your cell phone, if you brought it, or use someone else's phone. They have you all lined up and tell you to call home say you made it then hang up an then let the person next to you use your phone if they don't have one.

So, the only time that you will get to use your cellphone is for the initial call home. Any other time that you make calls home will be from the payphones at the NEX which require a calling card. You can bring one with you if you want or you will have the opportunity to buy one at the NEX. I bought one there for $20 and it had 408 minutes on in. So it will last a while.

Where can I activate the phone card? Already bought one but need to activate...
