per minute, plus a $2.95 monthly service fee. If you anticipate more
than 60 minutes per month in long distance charges, stay with this
plan.
*If you never make a long distance call, you won't be charged the $2.95 monthly service fee. However, if you make one call, for one minute, you'll be charged the $2.95 monthly service fee.
- Personal Long Distance Plan #2: $.12 per minute, with no monthly service fee. If you anticipate less than 60 minutes per month in long distance charges, this is the plan for you.
