said by ninjatutle  :Umm hello, cheapo lady. You're probably calling an 800 number first, entering your pin, then the number. Get a prepaid phone card where you dial a local number. Dialing the 800 number first is where the problem is. But you're probably not a BBr member anyways, so all this info is useless to you  Completely wrong, the rate is controlled by the rate plan that is attached to the PIN. While some cards will have different rates between TFN access and local access there are others that don't have any difference. It's on a rate plan by rate plan basis,

San Ramon, CA | I had someone call my place via a calling card once. I was LD and the caller ID said VOIP. I think the no name cards can bypass all the taxation via VOIP lines. I dunno how they operate but I'm guessing thats how they keep the fees down. |

Wholesale VOIP is typically cheaper then SS7 termination but its also crappier and finding a provider worth a damned is tough. Rate plans are the key here though, how they are accessed is not. Only difference comes into play for the mandating payphone fee so payphone operators still get some money from the call, fee came into being because payphones are charged for every call.. even TFN's.
