For years I've used MCI for domestic long distance to use when on the road.
I just went to recharge my card and now they've instituted new fees so I'm
shopping again. I WAS paying 3 cents per minute with no fees . I've been
browsing and LOTS of companies with lots of fees ( per connection, per
month etc) Any suggestions of 'good deals".

I want no fees per call/per month/per year and no expiration. JUST x cents
per minute when I use it.
Thanks for any feedback

You might want to look at the comparisons at: callingcards.com I assume
you are calling USA-USA but they have all other options also available.

I use their service and usually buy a very cheap card when I travel.

Also, does SKYPE calling interest you?

Thanks Mike.
Yes USA-USA . No need for Skype. I'm interested in good quality voice line.
At callingcards site, can you recommend a company that you now use ?

I never had an issue with AT&T or MCI but read about lousy service of
others. I'll use in place of designated long distance carrier ( to avoid the
monthly fees) and when traveling. I'd just like a rate of x cents per
minute - no per call /monthly fees ( MCI USED to do that)
When I started browsing online, it's very tough to compare when I see info
such as :

Connection Fee: 60 ¢ Connection Fee
Billing Increment: 3 minutes
Maintenance Fee: 59 ¢
Communication Fees: 8% ( some up to 15%)
Payphone Surcharge: 65 ¢

then go to next one and slightly different, make notes, next etc.

I've tried googling consumer websites for recommendations but most articles
are dated, so comparison info not current.
Thanks again.

Also, does SKYPE calling interest you? I know business travellers who
use it extensively. They buy the SKYPE service (very cheap) and call
with their laptop, anywhere there is free wi-fi.
I can recommand Voipbuster anywhere there is free wi-fi.

Why not just buy a phone card at the store?

I definitely agree with SMS, Onesuite prepaid long distance services
(calling card and voip) saved me tons of $$$ over the years. I just
need to correct one thing about Onesuite expiration policy. You don't
need to recharge your Onesuite account every 6 months, you just need
to use it every 6 months to keep it active. They just changed their
expiration policy a few months ago maybe because their customers (that
includes me) bombarded them with request to change the policy.

So now your $10 can last indefinitely as long as you use your account
every 6 months or until you've run out of credit and need to recharge
again.

Love onesuite, but if you don't have a phone available or don't feel like
dialing all the numbers it's a problem. the VOIP service is great, but I
don't like using a headset all the time. So we just got a magicjack and a
cheap cordless phone and it's working really well. The phone plugs into the
magic jack which plugs into a USB port on the laptop. Not affiliated with
them in any way, just enjoying using it.

magicjack works out cheaper though. $40 for the first year, $20 a year after
that for all domestic and Canada calls, and I think 2 cents a minute to the
UK.

You don't need a headset for using Onesuite VoIP. It's compatible with
ATA devices or IP phones.
