pahunkboy -> help - call to area code 936 ? (9/29/2009 3:53:00 PM)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_code_936 This will sound odd. I have tried to call a friend in TX- for a few weeks. I use a phone card to her phone which is a cell phone. I get "all circuits are busy". Am I doing something wrong? What could it be?

they dont have enough circuits to route you there. no biggie.

for 3 weeks? the phone card works for family cell phones in Chicago- so it does call cell phones.

they probably dont have too many carrier agreements down south. if they have 5 routes and a 1000 cardholders, what are your chances of getting thru?

Have you been able to get through to her before Hunky or was it the first time you've done this?

And you got through then? In that case something strange is going on. Maybe the phone card is only for certain areas?

I use one I bought at Wal-Mart it costs $0.06 per minute. I can recharge it by phone or right at Wal-Mart. 500 minutes (more than 8 hours) costs $30 plus tax. There is no access charges or any other hidden fees. Just straight up use of talk time. I should also add that it uses the AT&T network and I have never had a problem with service. It can be used from ANY phone.

I wondered if maybe she changed her number. The phone rings 2x THEN it says all circuits are busy. Eventually she will pop up in the yahoo group where we posted - so- - she moved a few times...and I changed my number etc. But she does know where to find me. One post and it would do it. I am sure I will hear from her at some point even if it is a year later. We broke off a larger group- and the few that are in the spin off know ....I can be found there. The phone card is a cheap online no name brand.

....update- I just got an email from her. :-)

Update: SCORED! She changed her number and had tried to call my old number a few times. I now have her new number. :-) Thanks to all! You guys ROCK!!!
