e-wisdom.com Expert Review

REVIEW - This 4.8 plan offered by telna, formerly 3U Telecom, (Updated 3/30/09) has no monthly fees, no monthly minimums, and no set up fees. If you go out of town, or do not make any long distance or international calls for that month, then you will pay nothing. Telna also has a great customer service rating with the average waiting time of only one minute. With the unique one second billing, your calls are billing to the exact duration, and nothing more.

CHANGE FROM 3U TO tELNA: What does this change? Well, our name, logo and website are being updated, but our management team, high quality service, low rates and passion for customer service remain unchanged.

ONE SECOND BILLING - One second billing saves an average of 17-19% more than a 4.8 plan billing in 60 second increments. Click on the "Billing Increment" link above for a more detailed explanation.

UNIQUE TRAVEL CARD (Calling Card) - Telna also provides an optional calling card with your account. The calling card rate is only 4.8¢ min. for U.S. calling. The travel card also allows you to make calls when you're overseas from 50 countries.

INTERNATIONAL RATES - Telna has some of the lowest international calling rates to many countries.  Telna prides itself on offering the lowest rates for frequent international callers.

CELLULAR DIAL-AROUND - The rates offered by Telna are also valid when using your cellular phone. Telna will provide a dial-around access number if you want to call internationally. Just dial the access number first, and then complete the call.

BILLING NOTE - Telna requires payment by credit card.  You will receive your invoice by email approx. 10 days before your credit/debit card is charged each month.  For security purposes, Telna will perform a temporary authorization on your credit card.  This authorization will automatically expire and disappear within a few days.
