I called them and they seemed legit. Spoke American. I found one guy on
Usenet who said he uses them. Anyway, the AT&T prepaid rate is technically
determined by your plan and whether you bought a $100 card. The guy I spoke
to didn't know if the $100 card had a 1yr expiration on the minutes rather
than 90 days. He said all they do is resell the cards (PINS really), so it
should. With coupon, their $100 card is $76.50 with no tax. On eBay they are
$87 but they DO mention that their $100 card is for 1yr.
