miamimike says on Oct 5, 2008, 18:38: We used to have a huge problem here in Florida woth prepaid cards(they sell millions here with all the tourists and immigrants) but the Law came in a couple years ago and the Problem for the most part has stopped. Over stated minutes was a big problem, hidden monthly service fees ect. Florida's AG helped a lot on this problem.
