Hello Asia.    Hello Asia from Oblio Telecom remains a very reliable card and has exceptional rates and performance to the Philippines and Indonesia among other Asian nations.    

Blackstone.    Blackstone # 1 and Blackstone No Connect remain card of choice for many Europeans and for longer calls to the USA.   Blackstone #1 has a substantial connect fee, but gives a huge amount of minutes – like 480 – on a $10 card to the US.

Union.    Union is still a very popular no connect card for many overseas destinations, but has only 79 minutes (no connect) to the US.

USA.    The popular USA card is carried in most Seaport Tel vending machines as it has middle of the road connection fees and gives a reasonable amount of minutes to most countries including the US.

PT-1 Gold.    The PT-1 name was purchased by Union Telecard in 2000 and the venerable and popular PT-1 name was reused for the first time in 2003.  The card quickly became the most popular card in Alaska for foreign nationals, with extensive purchases being made for calls to South Africa, Honduras, China, and several other countries popular with crew members.

UTA.    This card has had the best rates to the middle east, Peru, and has been perhaps more reliable than a lot of others.

Alaska Marine Highway Card.    This card, primarily sold in ferry terminal vending machines, has 132 minutes, no connect to the US and Alaska, and is a custom, collectible design by artists of the ferry system.  Card is provided by Seaport Telecommunications.

A & P.   The $10 and $20 cards available at all Alaskan and Proud Markets is a low connect card with 150 minutes on a  $10 to Alaska and to the lower 48.  The performance of the card and the rates given are better than cards being sold at box stores by AT&T, MCI, and Sprint.

White Pass.   This is a collectible card sold in Skagway at the White Pass depot and other places.  Photo design is the property of White Pass and Yukon Route.  Minutes to USA are 200 to the lower 48 and 100 within Alaska as card is primarily sold to tourists during the summer time.  A small connection fee.
