warmed up Wednesday &some News


BBG Communications and BBG Global offices are located in San Diego, CA. They provide a  variety of telecommunication services such as digital lines, high speed Internet, Intranet, public telephony, teleauditor, worldwide long  distance calling, and zero plus calling at credit card only payphone  stations Germany and other countries. BBG Global’s website owns and  operates 350,000 pay phones in airports, train stations, and hotels in  more than 30 countries.

Reports are that the cost of using BBG  Communications has been a problem for quite some time.Now, US troops  have decided to fight back. Americans must join in and demand justice  for all who have been affected; we can do this.


When Specialist  Reynald Matias was heading to Afghanistan with his Army unit late last  year,their chartered flight stopped to refuel at Leipzig-halle Airport  in Germany.During a brief layover, he called his wife in Tacoma,  Wash.,using his debit card on a pay phone in the terminal’s troops-only transit lounge. His wife, Crystal, asked, “What are they charging you?”   He did not know, so she told him to hang up. A few days  later she got   the answer: $51 for what she estimated was a 2minute call. “Military pay  isn’t up there, “she said. “It really hurt us.” Another Soldier,  Sgt.Corder, said he was billed $41 last year for a 3-second call  in which he left a message on the family’s answering machine. The  Sargent’s lawsuit was first written about last fall by Army Times and newspapers in Texas.
It is time for BBG Communications & BBG Global to stop taking  advantage American Soldiers who are already under such stress fighting  in defense of the U.S. Now, their families are subjected to financial  distress; this is completely unacceptable. Complaints from service  members have reached the United States Transportation Command and the  Leipzig airport.

However, press officers state they have no control over the pay phones. 
It is time for Americans to Stand with & Speak Up for our Troops, who have taken an oath to support and defend  the U.S. with their lives..
