I need a decent long dist provider that doesn't charge a monthy fee. I just dropped MCI, they charge $4 if you make any calls or not. I don't even make any long distance calls. Which 10 10 service is the best? I wanna be able to make a call long dist if I have to. thanks.

AT&T, Sprint, MCI and 10/10 providers can't beat what BigZoo.com has to offer.

Yes there's a whopping 75 cents a month fee but look at their domestic rates, international rates, and all the features you get.

Bang for your buck BigZoo.com can't be beat.

Also two huge advantages of BigZoo are:
1) You don't have to switch your long distance carrier you can piggy back them on top of AT&T, Sprint or MCI.
2) You don't even have to have a long distance carrier.

If you switch to AT&T Long Distance you'll receive a FREE $75 debit card, then drop them and keep your FREE $75.

FREE $75 / BigZoo.com's 2.9 cents per min domestic long distance = 2,586 minutes or 43 hours of talk time.

why not just get a $20 calling card form sams? I think they are up to 600 minutes now. No fees.

That's a good deal BUT:
1) BigZoo.com is cheaper.
2) BigZoo.com offers A LOT more features (online detailed billing, recharge your PIN online, your PIN never changes, with PINSkip you don't have to enter your PIN, etc.)
3) BigZoo.com has no physical card you have to buy, just go online right now and order your own PIN.

i just checked and my zi pgets a rate of 3.9 cents a minute. $20 for 600 min is 3.33 cents a minute. Unless i use the local access number, which would cost me a call on my normal phone bill.

I have unlimited calls to local access numbers on my home landline phone.

Also I doubt the Sam's calling card gives you detailed online billing which shows everything, allows you to recharge your PIN online, allows you to skip entering in your PIN, you have to buy a physical card instead of getting it online in your underwear, and I doubt Sam's can beat BigZoo.com's international rates.

There's a reason I'm a rabbid BigZoo supporter, it's saved me THOUSANDS (yes I have counted) of dollars I use it to call mostly international since my cell phone has long distance within the USA. Their rates to Canada, Australia, Asia, Europe, and other countries are freakin' awesome.

bigzoo's rate to Croatia is 28.4 cents a minute, AT&T's is 33. The monthly fee is way lower though, I think. Thanks RossMan.

I would still switch to AT&T because you'll receive a free $75 debit card which equals 264 minutes or 4 hours 24 minutes of long distance to Croatia using BigZoo.com's rates. After 1 month cancel your AT&T service and keep the free $75 debit card.

I could do that for my phone, but my Dad is already on AT&T. I usually use a calling card for domestic long distance.
