[BC] Long Distance telephone Service

[Don Little]

I have the same problem at home: No cable service available for a cablemodem, the only internet access is through the phone company (800Kbs DSL is $55/mo).  We chose MCI for our long distance provider.  We have to use a dial around to call intra-lata (1010222+ digit number), but inter-lata is the regular 11 digit number.  The plan we're on is 200 minutes for $13/mo.  When my sons were in Iraq we used mobilecaller.com for affordable LD (they couldn't get fast enough connections to use Skype).  Mobilecaller has US plans also. You dial an 800# to access their routing.  Pennytalk.com advertises cheap LD rates.  Skype works, $3/mo for unlimited US calls, PC to PC calls are free worldwide.  Since you already have a landline you wouldn't need the call-in feature.

My DSL provider does NOT offer Dry, No DialTone DSL... and any cellular
broadband (if I could get it) is slower then my already slow DSL.
