Dial Around Calling Dial Arounds Dial arounds allow you to make long distance calls using a long distance company other than your assigned long distance company. Most people are familiar with the many TV commercials for 1010 calling. Ads such as "99 cents for all calls up to 20 minutes" or "39 cents plus only 3 cents per minute" are big money makers for the long distance providers offering those services. There are three ways you can do better than the 1010 dial around rates--for calls of any length. Inexpensive long distance phone companies for less than 5¢ per minute. Dial arounds 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.
