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.
