Now, the very criterion of deciding the rate of the cheapest long distance call has changed. Earlier these calls were charged on a per minute basis. However, nowadays the amount of usage of the long distance phone system is more important than the rate we pay for using it.

Low rate per minute for a long distance phone call with the traditional telephone service is good enough, if you are not making many long distance calls. One thing, which must be kept in mind, is that your telephone company may charge you for having the service of the long distance telephone calling on your telephone line. Even if you do not use this facility, you have to pay the fee. Some other hidden fees are PIC, monthly fee, FCC, taxes, and surcharges.

Dial-around long distance telephone system is also referred as 1010 numbers. Some dial-around service providers also offer an access number of 800. The rate of the dial-around-long distance phone system is a little higher than the rate you are paying on your phone lines. However, there are not many hidden charges in this system, except, maybe some hidden fee, taxes and surcharges.

In comparison to the traditional and dial-around long distance telephone services, the calling cards are the cheapest alternative. Using calling cards, you can use any telephone to make long distance phone calls at a very nominal rate. Calling cards charge a set amount for each minute you use for long distance calling. In case of moderation, the calling cards are the good option for making the long distance calls.

Bundled telephone service can be an inexpensive service, if you choose to make loads of long distance telephone calls and chose unlimited long distance minutes as the calling plan. The major drawback in case of the bundled phone service is that there are many hidden fees. The hidden charges amount to the 20% of the total bills and sometimes it is more.

VoIP or broadband phone is the cheapest long distance telephone service available. There are no hidden fees or taxes or surcharges, in case of the broadband phone services, as the broadband phone service uses the Internet in order to send and receive the calls. Using the VoIP service, you can make unlimited long distance and local calls for around 20 dollar and there is only three percent of the excise tax over it.
