If you don't use long distance, you can disregard this thread. I'm curious as to how much other people are paying for long distance. Whether it's a landline or cell or calling card or whatever.. me personally I don't have a landline, just a cell. I get 10c/min accross north america anytime, which isn't amazing but it is a cell phone so that's not too bad. i'm with telus for that.

so what about you?

$0.10 per minute isn't that great.

Even my landline offers $0.05 to North America with no monthly fees. After $20 it's free.

I use my cell phone or OneSuite.com (formerly BigZoo.com) for international calls.

Landline is Vonage for $25 - Free North America calls
Cell is a national plan, I use onesuite.com for Canada calls.

Onesuite has been steadily been getting worse. Lots of echo, unable to connect, disconnects.
Vonage has always been great.

I got really ticked about all the taxes and fees and line charges,and cancelled my long distance
phone service.

I bought a 200 min. Sprint phone card for like $25? at the local store,early this year.May,i think,
I had tried a 50 min one to start,that lasted for 4 months.

No b.s. fees,works even from a pay phone,as you call an 1-800 #.
LOL I can even use it from the No long distance phones at my work,as they allow you to call
a 1-800/888 etc, number.

10 cents per min on a cell phone is a lot?
when i go on telus' website all their plans have 25 cents per minute... im talking about just normal plans, i didn't ask for anything for long distance, i never make long distance calls, all my calls are local (free, nights/weekends).

I don't even have a LD service on my land line. I am using the caling card by ATT which I bought at Sam. It will cost around 3.5 cents/minute anywhere in North American. No monthly fee and no contract or anything.

Do any of you know the best and cheapest way to call Asia? I can't use computer to call because the other person doesn't have a computer, just a land line phone.

$0, I use Optimum Online's VoIP phone... its always $34.95 no matter where you call. Right now, I'm getting digital cable, cable internet, and the Voip phone for just ~$95 a month.... great deal!

Cingular, free nationwide long distance. I got no one to call international, so I don't care. Heck when I think about it, 99% of my calls are in my local area anyways.
