I'm not sure you can patent a pin #.I've never seen a calling card so perhaps that will change my opinion. SjS

I don't know enough about the patent to say whether it will hold up if challenged. What we are talking about here is something in the order of the RMBS business model, but for calling cards instead of Rambus RAM. Interesting, to say the least, and look what the concept has done for RMBS' share price. In sum, it seems that there should be some upside here vis-a-vis the stock price, at least until any litigation surfaces, if it ever does (i.e., on the issue of whether the patent is valid). I haven't a clue as to the likelihood of a patent challenge, if any (or if there has ever been such a challenge in the past). Gary Korn
