The
Air Force Aid Society’s (AFAS) Phone Home Program provides prepaid calling
cards for deployed Air Force members, to include single and married service members,
when they deploy for 30 days or more in the Area of Responsibility (AOR). This
program makes it possible for the service member to "phone home" to family
or friends during deployment and to make emergency contacts when necessary, without
added expense to the service member.
Contact your local Airman & Family Readiness Center or First Sergeant at your
deployed location to receive a card.
Over 42,000 Airmen received an AFAS-sponsored phone card in 2011
We received the following e-mail from an Airman stationed
in Afghanistan:
I am a First Sergeant deployed to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Even in this age of Skype, your phone cards have been a tremendous help in keeping our Airmen connected with their families.
