said by pnh102:Long Distance phone service hasn't been a cash cow since most wireless, VoIP and even some landline providers have been including unlimited long distance at no additional cost to subscribers.
VoIP, yes; wireless, not really. Most wireless operators just don't distinguish between local and long distance. If you have unlimited minutes, then yes, you have unlimited long distance, but if you have finite minutes, then you don't have unlimited long distance. Qwest does offer an unlimited calling package for local and long-distance. If they sold their long distance fiber network, I don't see how they could competitively offer such a service.
