Let's talk long distance

[DumboOrBust]

<font face="comic sans ms"> Okay. I usually communicate with my long distance friends through e-mail, but I might want to start calling some Dis friends (well, anyone who lets me have his/her number ). Does anyone have a good long distance plan to recommend? I don't want to call the phone companies and ask them. </font>

I use my cell phone for all long distance. It's all inclusive in my plan.

ok after using up all my cell phone minutes I have resorted to phone cards...do not use them to often, but I have used them.... I do not want to hear about the astronomical phone bills!!!

 

[Patinmn]

I use my cell phone for LD...so I will call you Dayna

is your number in the address list you sent?

If you are a Sam's Club member, you can buy a prepaid phone card for 3.47 cents per minute! If you aren't a member, ask a friend to buy one for you.

I like PMs, e-mail and IM, but phoning is much more efficient!

I like the idea of calling each other, too. It would be nice to hear everyone's voices.
We use MCI, but it's incorporated with the long distance for our business so that won't help you. I've heard of a lot of people that use their cell phones for long distance. I'm looking into a plan for our youngest that is 4000 minutes (350 anytime and 3650 nights and weekends) through Sprint. It says it has free nationwide long distance. Sounds like it's too good to be true. Of course, if the night time minutes start at 11:00 pm, that won't do him any good. We're trying to get his phone bill down. He's racking up quite a bill talking to his girlfriend from college every day. BTW, it's $35.19 a month, with a 2 year service contract. Good luck!

Hey Barb!

I have that Sprint program. Thenight and weekend minutes begin at 8pm and go to 7 AM. and all weekend until 7AM monday morning. So yes it is that good and true!

I used my cell phone when I was in WDW to call people.. my bill was over $200 and these were not long phone calls. so i need to investigate too..

GLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the expert, what do we do?? and what about our home phones while you are it.. hey what is the purpose of having little ones as friends if they do not do chores.. LOLOLOLOL

 

[Patinmn]

I pay $39.95 on sprint and have 200 anytime minutes and 2800 night and weekend minutes.

Nites start at 9pm, and end at 7am


this is on sprint

Marsha Ellen would not let me use the cell phone in WDW, I bought a calling card. I only used the cell once when I arrived since I could not figure out the card yet. I have the package that allows me two local calls a month I suppose there was that incident in Vegas when we were using the cell to call everyone and received a very large bill It was about equal to our hotel bill But she was involved in that too Its not all my fault

 

[NancyIL]

I didn't bother bringing my cell phone to WDW because it doesn't have free long distance outside my local calling area. However, when I'm home, I use my cell phone for late-night and weekend calls (Verizon), and my regular long distance carrier (MCI) for weekday calls between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

ECXCUSE ME?????? Chores????? Little one? Is that anything like being a gopher?? Geez the nerve of some people....lol

Our cellphone(Verizon) is $89.00 a month...700 weekday minutes ....and 2000 weekend minutes each month, but that is calls anywhere in the country. And yes, I go through them each month...and get yelled at each month...lol....hense the calling cards...lol


I am looking for even a better plan......but this is pretty good....


Now I will research the home thing....lol...Ms. Mackey what would you do without me to pick on and abuse???

 

[Smee]

We have 75 minutes per month (anywhere in the continental US) for $29.95.
Other than that, we use calling cards, even at home.

Walmart has a good calling card for 250 minutes for $18...not a bad deal !!!!!

 

[Pumbaa_]

I use my cell phone mostly. I have 350 minutes per month nationwide and free nights and weekends. I just changed my paln the day before we left for DisCon. (Cingular) and I will keep this plan at least until the spring when my parents return from Florida. (The snowbirds have flown south!)

 

[Sandra B.]

I made a credit-card call to my mother from WDW. Today I got my bill - AT&T charged me $22,16 for a 4 minute call!!

 

[BarryHom]

Was it a nice conversation?

 

[disneycub]

[Patinmn]
