3/26    After opening a new phone line, I have been using a calling card for
        long distance exclusively, but I also want to have a long distance
        carrier as a backup in case when the fone card's system fails.  Any
        long distance carrier that does not charge a monthly fee/tax/surcharge
        and is not exorbitantly expensive?
                   \_ I think you mean 'exorbitantly'.
                      \_ yeah thanks and corrected
        \_ don't worry...some long-distance provider will call you soon
           enough with a "courtesy call" and would love to be your
           provider.
        \_ Why not just get a backup phone card?
           \_ Different type of systems.
        \_ or use 10-10 numbers for backups?  I was using http://WALD.com for LD
           for 6 months because of their free deals, but then when they
           mis-billed a int'l call at $4/min I disabled LD on my phone, not
           worth the hassle.  Onesuite, and http://10-10phonerates.com
        \_ I wanted exactly this.  SBC had some deal that's no-fee 5M-"/minute.

           Works for me.  --dbushong

Save time and money with rate comparisons of more than a dozen 10-10 and 10-x dial around phone plans. Avoid bad deals like 10-10-220 and compare cheap long distance services like Everdial or 10-15-335. Making calls with most 10-10 services does not require signing up or switching your regular long distance service. Dial the plans seven-digit code such as 10-10-345 or 10-15-335, for example, then the phone number you are calling. Since rates do change, bookmark this site or place it in your AOL favorites. Its a good idea to check back and compare who is offering the best deal for you. Another way you can save money: Some dial around plans keep billing current customers old rates. When new, lower rates are offered to attract new customers, existing users still pay higher rates! WorldxChange / Acceris Changes New 10-15-335 rates took effect February 16th in 20 states and to 34 countries. Acceris tells me that prior user telephone lines will continue to receive prior rates, unless there is a 90-day lapse in usage of their services. If that happens on your line, you will know when after dialing the 101-xxxx code and number, the system prompts you to enter a set-up code before the call will go through. If you make less than $3 worth of calls in any month service is used, most WorldxChange / Acceris dial-around services now charge a low-usage fee. That policy affects 10-10-629 , 10-10-834 , 10-15-335 101-5335 and 10-16-789 101-6789 users billed via their local phone bill.
