I forgot my cell phone when I went to Walmart in Riverside, CA so I called my daughter on her cell phone, which was actually in Riverside but it bills in Anaheim, CA which is about 25 miles away, to check and make sure my cell phone was actually at my house. Unfortunately, I had no change so I had to use my debit card to make the call. I was never told how much the call would cost. I was on the phone for about 3 minutes total. When I looked on my bank's site it showed a charge of about $5. I thought that was bad enough but I was horrified when I looked a few days later & saw I was charged $17.42 for this call. This is a TOTAL RIP-OFF. Never use a payphone that says Lowest International Rates available. They are kidding themselves.

I guess since hardly anyoneuses a payphone anymore they need to gouge the people that do. I sure learned a lesson that day.
