From: "Geo." 

I haven't looked at that aspect of it yet but I don't see where it assigned
me a phone number of any type. I did discover something about the account
that I don't like, today I got my confirmation email and it says it will
expire my remaining balance in 120 days if I don't use it up, that's bs if
you ask me. Calling cards don't expire like that so why should this? They
should have made it a year at least.
