With so many choices available, choosing a long distance phone service can be difficult.
A great place to start is by reviewing your current phone bill. How many long distance minutes do you usually use per month?
Next, visit a site that compares phone services and take a look at what is available in your area. If you find a carrier that looks good to you, visit their website to get more details on the package they offer.
If you are trying to decide between a measured rate service and an unlimited package, take the average number of long distance minutes you use per month and multiply them by the best per minute rate you found. Compare this number to the unlimited service monthly charge - if it is higher, then an unlimited service is best for you.
If it is lower, then stick to a measured rate and look into supplementing it with free cellular long distance, PC-phone calling or PC-PC calling.
Always make sure to take another look every two months to ensure that you are always getting the best deal. Now that numbers are portable from carrier to carrier, there is no reason to lose money by staying with a high cost carrier just to avoid the hassle of switching.
