You have chosen wisely.
You can purchase domestic phone cards at the airport (just ask at information) or you can usually purchase where you find a bunch of payphones grouped.
Also usually at the lobby of department stores where there is a payphone.

Insert your card first, then dial. The display usually tells your minutes remaining as the calls progress. The remaining amount of the card is displayed on the card by the phone punching holes on the phone card.

There isn't much difference between green and gray phones anymore (unless you plan to do fax, analog dial-up or ISDN (gray phone)). I like the gray phones because of the giant display on them.

Okay.. I'm the guy who submits payphone picture to 2600: The Hacker Quarterly.

You can always grab a prepaid or borrow someone's phone later if the even arises.
