Discontinued Direct Calling - Residential Plans

Talk More, Pay Less Savings Plan (Discontinued)

Most long distance companies charge one flat rate whether you talk one minute or 1000 minutes, and they may charge a monthly fee. With the Basic Plan the more you talk, the less you pay! And, there's no monthly fee or hidden costs. The Basic Plan bills in six second increments after the initial thirty seconds, no rounding up to the next minute. This rate is good anytime, anywhere in the United States*.

If your long distance bill is:	Per Minute	Number of Minutes
Up to $ 25.00	$.15	up to 165 minutes
Up to $ 50.00	$.14	up to 355 minutes
Up to $100.00	$.13	up to 770 minutes
Over $100.00	$.12	over 770 minutes
