This year I saved $25,000 since June 1999 (in 8 months) by getting rid of Bell Canada as my long distance provider.
Yet my phone numbers are all the same.
I now pay a flat rate per minute, no matter where I call, nor time of day, in-watts or outgoing, month to month with no contract, whoever gives me
the lowest price. One month it was ATT, then Sprint, another month it was Telecom Options.
I was like you, thinking I had the best rates available, and I believe I was, up to two years ago anyway.
Then de-regulation of long distance swept across the country, and the savings were not automatically passed on
to us by Bell. "Buyer beware" applies now to your phone bill.
Good luck.
