This mobile phone provider can be recommending from the experience of a few people at NIST. Every minute costs 10 cents, that’s why the name. As all other pre-paid deals you pay for receiving calls (10 cent/minute) and receiving SMS (5 cent/msg). Call rates to foreign countries are very sharp priced. More info: http://www.net10.com
