1010 International Call Dial International Phone Rates Calling internationally using your cell phone will be expensive. You will likely pay well over $1.00 per minute calling to or from most European countries. When you are travelling, you will do much better using an international calling card. Rates from Germany, the United Kingdom and most other countries to the US are less than 20 cents per minute. When you are home, there are many low cost options including direct dial, dial-arounds, calling cards, and Voice over IP (Internet phone). But, watch out some calling cards that have extra charges. Some cards have an expiration date. Funds left on an expired card are lost. Some cards have a maintenance fee. Some maintenance fees are charged weekly, some monthly. This essentially increases the effective per minute rates. Some cards are pre-paid and cannot be "re-charged". This means that some amount of money left on a card cannot be used because you would not have enough left for a good conversation. Our international providers have no extra charges. See your savings now. The Truth About 1010 Calling You may not know it, but the 1010 long distance business is a real money maker. Profits pay for cute TV commercials that generate even more profits. No, those 10-10 long distance calls don't really save you money at all. In fact, it makes those who sell the 1010 long distance service smile as they haul heavy sacks of your money to the bank. Without the cute TV commercials...       ..... there are three ways you can do better than the 10-10 calling rates--for calls of any length. Inexpensive phone companies for less than 5¢ per minute. Dialarounds like 1010 long distance with (4.5 ¢/min) flat rates for interstate calls. Calling cards for less than 5¢ per minute. As you can see, if you're using any of the 1010 like services that have cute TV commercials, you're paying too much. Now is the time to lowewr your phone bill. Your phone bill is only going up.
