You are correct...however, check your bill with a magnifying glass, you will probably find you are getting a charge from your local company for not being connected to any long distance company. This charge is normally passed onto the long distance company, since you aren't connected to one, the local may pass it onto you. The local I use charges less than most long distance carriers so you probably will want to compare that before you get another long distance carrier. Another way to save over the 10-10 is get yourself a long distance card...I suggest to people to use the Sprint Card, it seems to be the one that charges per usage time rather than from the time you call them to use the card. So if you get a busy signal, or voice mail, you can hangup without a charge as some of the others do.
