What is the best long distance program?

[The Sauce]

I used to use IDT which was $0.05 a minute all the time at $3 a month fee. Is there anything better out now? We just moved and I think we have the standard Verizon thing...not sure my wife set up the account.

PS - Not talking cellular here.

if your wife talks that much, you can sign up for the Verizon Freedom package which gives you unlimited long-distance

Don't you have free long distance on your cell?

Unlimited VOIP plan. Take your pick.

Qwest has a long distance program where you pay $.05 a minute up to $20/month max. Anything after that is free.

packet8, unlimited, $20 a month

Our bellsouth bill was about $200 this month.

That includes free long distance (domestic), DSL, and local phone service. The only extra is the international dialing. That was $120 of that $200 bill.

If it's all domestic, I'd look into one of the unlimited domestic long distance calling plans. They range from $20-$30 month, at least the ones I've seen.

If it's international, get on the cheapest international calling plan you can. I cut my LD costs my 50% by shopping around for the best international rate.

what "LD" are we talking about? I am sure VOIP doesn't work if you call to other country.

Actually they do work. While international calls are not covered in the unlimited minutes, the rates are very good.
Packet8 international rates

Well she only calls interstate...VT to PA mostly.

 

[Snuffaluffaguss]

VOIP unlimited minutes all for 30 bucks a month, PM me and we each get a month free....

Has anyone tried Big Red Wire? Was thinking of checking them out when I move.

This is an excellent suggestion, but I don't think Qwest is available in VT.

Aah, I just checked that out, looks like exactly what we need. I would prefern to to use VOIP cause i am in an old house and the phoneline is far from the wireless router and it would be a hastle to run new line. Besides how can you beat $20/month unlimited for a regular landline-based service???

Thanks man!

Sure about that?

I'd love to see Ma Bell beat these rates

I think that's what we have on our phone.... IIRC, it's about $40 or 50 a month.

 

[fredtam]

I pay 54.99 for local and unlimited long distance with bellsouth.

You'll save a hell of a lot more if you dump the big mouth you're saddled with. Tell her to hang up the damn phone, get in the kitchen, and whip up a tasty meatloaf. And while the oven is doing its thing, grab a mop and do the floors. And have her bring you a beer while she's at it! Cojones, man! Cojones!!
