What if the SPARC Card is lost or stolen?

SPARC Card - Frequently Asked Questions
If this happens, remember that it would be difficult for anyone other than the cardholder to use this information because of the calling restrictions set up by the card owner. We suggest that you make copies of the SPARC Card so that you'll have 'extras' available in case the card gets lost. It is important for card owners and cardholders to protect the Toll-free Access Number and PIN information the same way they would protect cash.
Related Questions

Are there any identifying markings on the SPARC card?

SPARC Card - Frequently Asked Questions
No. The SPARC Card works through an access code (like a PIN number). This means you can make up your own "card" with only the access code on it, so the card cannot be traced back to SPARC. You may make an unlimited number of cards, with as much or as little information on them as you like. Some parents send several duplicates with the child in case one or more gets lost. You're welcome to copy the sample below and modify it as necessary.

What if I have questions or need assistance after I buy a SPARC card?

SPARC Card - Frequently Asked Questions
Lets say you 'charge up' the Card with $20.00 of credit (Usage). Let's also say that you want 25% ($5.00) of the Usage to be 'Open Calling' and the other 75% ($15.00) to be the 'Preferred Calling Amount'. When your child gets the SPARC Card, he or she could use the Open Calling portion to make Destination calls to any number anywhere, until the $5.00 was used up. Once that first $5.00 'Open Calling' amount is used, the 'Preferred Calling Amount' takes over.
