Re: .

I suppose it depends on how savvy you are, but there are "online" calling cards (that is, you use credit/debit card to purchase online + get # + Pin) like Tel3 or Onesuite and charge a flat $0.03/min anywhere in the lower 48 states, it can be instate or out of state. This is with a 800#.

Your local telephone company (with a non monthly fee LD on the line) can't charge for an 800# (or I've never heard of such a thing). So It still comes down to picking a good calling card - but you don't usually pay 8x for a 800 access number.

AT&T has been crooked for a long time

AT&T was one of the greatest companies in the world!
Unfortunately, that changed a long time ago. I know because I was one of the few hundred that once got charged ~$8 for a collect call from a payphone. The thing was that the payphone had been washed out into the Gulf of Mexico in the No Name Storm weeks before the call was supposedly made.

This is not the same AT&T... it's the corrupt and bloated SBC simply donning the long-deceased AT&T's skin.

I hear you. They tried to charge me for a long distance call to Ohio. I dont know anyone in Ohio. All the little indian guy from their billing dept kept saying was,...(in my best little indian guy accent)..... "Our computers are not wrong".
