Four Easy Ways to Lower Your Cheap Long Distance Phone Bill
By OBONO OBONO

Introduction

Though most of these companies offer excellent deals, no single rate
plan is best for everyone. Be sure to compare these programs carefully
to determine which plan is the best for you. Some tips on choosing the
right long distance program for your needs:

1. Check for monthly service charges. If you have a relatively small T1
connection long distance bill, even a monthly service charge of $3-$6
may make a huge difference in how much you actually save. Consumers
spending less than $20 monthly should generally look for a plan that has
no monthly service charges.

2. Check for monthly minimums. Some carriers have a minimum amount that
they will bill you for, otherwise your bill will be raised to that
amount. If you are a low biller, make sure that you will spend at least
as much as the monthly minimum, taking discounted rates into
consideration.

3. Check your intrastate rate. If you make many calls within your state,
it is important to choose a BUSINESS LONG DISTANCE
<http://longdistmall.blogspot.com> rate plan which gives you the best
rate for in-state calls. Some programs will lure you with a low
interstate (state-to-state) rate, but will hit you with high charges to
make calls just a few miles away. Make sure that you take intrastate
rates into account when choosing your service provider.

4. Check billing increments. This is a must for those who use the phone
for , faxes and make many short phone calls. Most long distance carriers
simply "round up" the charge for your phone calls to the next full
minute. If your call lasts 1 minute and 5 seconds, you will probably be
billed for two minutes. Full minute billing does not affect most
residential customers who make calls lasting an average of 6 minutes or
more that greatly. However, if you make many short duration calls, it
pays to find a long distance carrier who bills in T1 line connection six
second increments. Be sure to check the fine print.
