Alrighty, so I own a Sony Ericsson T290A, with Fido as the service.

It's prepaid, and my per-minute rate is: $1 per day, unlimited incoming calls; 30¢ per minute, outgoing calls

The long distance rate is for within Canada and to the U.S. is 30¢ per minute at any time of the day, billed by the minute.

So basically, there's no difference in the price of me making a long distance call and a local outgoing call.

Now the phone card I have. It's one of those cheap 5 dollar phone cards you get at a convenience store. Usually it charges me 1¢ per minute when I use it on my homephone.

My question is, if I use that phone card on my cell to make a long distance call, will it affect my airtime? Will I be charged the 30 ¢ per minute along with the 1¢ per minute from the phone card, or what? If not, what happens? blink.gif

Yes, it will affect your airtime because you're still using minutes on your prepaid phone.

So logically, there would be no point using the phone card, right?
