TouchTone $0.0270  none 60

User information: If
you need “ONE REALLY GOOD FLAT RATE” for
interstate (out-of-state) outbound calling, this is the plan for you. We've
known and done business with this company for several years now, and it's hard
to remember the last time we had a customer complaint about their service.
For that reason alone, Touchtone could easily be our number one pick. Then
they came out with a $0.027 rate plan - enough said. We recommend using
Opex if you need toll free service. (Rates here are 8 cpm). No monthly fees. No minimums. No contracts. One
flat outbound rate and one simple online form. [Underlying

Opex

User information: Opex
Communications has some of the best interstate and intrastate rates available
throughout the United States. What separates this company from the rest
is that quite often the in-state rates are just as good in (Non-RBOC) Non-Regional
Bell territories as they are in (RBOC) territories. If you're in a (Non-RBOC)
territory or so-called "Mom n' Pop" phone company area, this long distance company
is a must to compare. Customer service is friendly/responsive with efficient
order provisioning. [Underlying Carrier: Global Crossing] SIGN UP HERE

Carrier Networks offers one of the best rate plans of any company listed. Good
rates, excellent savings, and great service (utilizing Major Carrier networks)
makes this our best recommendation. This particular rate plan is only available
in RBOC (regional bell) territories. If you're located in one, take advantage
of these excellent rates. [Underlying Carriers: Qwest,
