AT&T Inc. and United Service Organizations (USO) worked together again to distribute an additional 10,000 free prepaid phone cards to U.S. military members overseas. This will be the second batch - out of more than 30,000 prepaid phone cards allocated by AT&T. The first batch was distributed in 2006.
With these prepaid phone cards, military members in Asia, Europe and the Middle East will receive 20 minutes of free talk time from Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, back to the United States. These prepaid phone cards will be handed out by USO to troops at Landsthul Regional Medical Center in Germany and through USO distribution centers in Kuwait, Afghanistan, South Korea and Japan.
Since 2000, AT&T has donated more than $6 million worth of free prepaid calling cards to military members and more than $2 million to projects supporting them, according to a release.
San Antonio, Texas-based AT&T Inc. merged with SB Communications Inc. in mid-November 2005, making AT&T Inc. the largest telecommunications company in the country and one of the largest worldwide.
