OT: Phone Card Expertise requested From Y2K Threaders/Savvy Consumers!!! HELP!!!!!!!

As I look at my last minute things to do list before 12/31/99 midnight,

I find myself wishing I had paid more attention to how "pre-paid" phone cards work. Was accustomed to seeing them on every street corner 7-11/Quik Trip back when I was living in the city.

Now I wish to get the best bang for the buck price wise for my daughter and fed-ex it to her. ANY ADVICE would be appreciated:

FEATURES I SEEK:
1) LOW PRICE

2) CAN BE "RE-FILLED" by a phone care or credit card information exchange, either 800# or via the internet.
In other words I don't want a throw-away, but a refillable one. AND I WANT IT QUICKLY

3) EASE OF USE BY THE INTENDED RECEIVER/USER to whom I am gifting it
Is there like a major National Brand type of choice here?

4) SOME ASSURANCE that she can use it from work on her breaks and NOT be tracked by her company's phone system records.
5) I DON'T OBJECT to someone else making money on my use of it, but I sure do NOT want to be pressured into selling them to make a buck. My heart just isn't there.

ALL REPLIES WELCOME. I'm on the 'new SI' now, and my PM works if that makes it more comfortble to be responded to.

THANKS IN ADVANCE, Y2K threaders.
