2. Maintenance or Service Fee – a fee most common in prepaid calling cards. It is a set amount charged each week or month regardless of how much you use it.
   
3. Payphone Surcharge – a charge set when you are calling from a payphone. This was set by the FCC to compensate payphone owners for using the payphone to make the call. A payphone surcharge is typical to calling cards.
