Yes, I agree... I have cancelled my long distance carriers (was AT&T) on my
phone lines and use 1010 numbers to get 10 cents a minute.1010345 seems like
the best. 10 cent connection charge percall is about it. But I think they
also tax you a certain percentage of their charges, but it is very small
compared to what AT&T does.

By the way, I want to say MCI called me and convinced my to switch to them
by lying to me and telling me that AT&T and Sprint has monthy charges and
they didn't and that my calls would be 9 cents a minute. Turns out it was
more than 9 cents a minute and they had monthly fees. So I had to cancel and
it ended up costing me $$ even if they claim that they pay to change you and
change you back. I will never accept something like this again unless I get
the full details in writng. Next time I will make them FAX the details to
me.
