Other Long Distance Companies

The Long Distance Rate Calculator helps make people aware that finding a good rate plan doesn't have to be difficult -- many people may find that they can get a better rate plan from the same company they're currently using!

But plans available from companies not included in the Long Distance Rate Calculator are also worthy of your consideration. Listed below are selected companies offering long distance service. Please check out their online information to decide if their offerings meet your needs.

• National Telecom Associates
• Phone Bill Busters

Other Long Distance Rate Comparison Services

Our long distance rate calculator compares only a handful of rate plans. The links below include rate calculators that accept detailed information about your calls, including the locations you call, the time of day of each call, and the length of each call. This information is used to calculate the rates using a database of various rate plans. This doesn't mean that you'll find rates that beat those featured on the Cagey Consumer rate calculator, because they don't include some of the rate plans we use. In any case, they are included here for your amusement.

• 10-10PhoneRates.com
  This site compares the rates available through dial-around services, which are accessed using a "101" prefix (dial-around plans don't necessarily use a "10-10" prefix). There's also information on pre-subscribed plans and calling cards.
• A Bell Tolls
  This service provides information on about 3 dozen rate plans from over a dozen carriers, in a concise easy-to-understand format.
• CallSense
  CallSense for Windows is a call-rating program that you can use to determine the cost of one or more calls using different calling plans. The program actually costs $1, but you can try it for free. Their initial version only includes rates from the big three carriers; future versions will hopefully have a broader selection of carriers.
• cheaprates.com
  Cheaprates compares its own services, provided by Cable & Wirless and ACT, against several other services. Intrastate and intralata rates are included in most cases.

• Cognigen Communications
  Cognigen offers several plans that it markets and compares them to various other plans. Note that the name displayed on the web page may be one of Cognigen's agents, as it appears that when no agent code is used to access their web site, the web server randomly selects one of its agents rather than assigning such sales to its own house account.
• Consumer Action
  The Consumer Action rate survey provides comparisons of over 20 rate plans.
• EasyCall
  Enter your interlata, intralata, international, and toll-free minutes and this finds the best plan from about 15 companies.
• Just Dial 10-100-56
  This dial-around service compares its rates to those of several other dial-around services.
• Larry Green's long distance page
  Larry has an extensive discussion of long distance services and charges.
• Long Distance World
  Long distance phone rate comparison, calling cards, cellular phones, and more.
• Lower My Bills
  This site provides rate comparisons on various kinds of communication services as well as utilities, financial services, and insurance.
• Philadelphia Inquirer Long Distance Rate Calculator
  The Philadelphia Inquirer has put together an easy-to-use rate calculator. Although there have already been changes in some of the PICC and USF charges, these differences are small enough that they're unlikely to affect your choice of long distance plan.
• phonedog.com
  Displays up to 25 carriers offering competitive long distance plans in your area.
• SaveOnPhone
  There's no attempt to be comprehensive here, only a relative handful of the lowest-priced plans available are listed.
• TeleWorth
  The TeleRate service rates the phone calls you list against a large number of rate plans, and reports the best four rate plans from those included in its database. TeleWorth earns its income from commissions paid by long distance carriers for customers who sign up for a plan using its service.
• TRAC Web Pricer
  TRAC's new Web Pricer now lets you rate interstate calls from over 20 plans offered by 7 long distance companies, although it doesn't take into account different definitions of rate periods that apply to each plan, and doesn't include monthly fees in its calculations.
• U Save Telecom
  Rate calculator for domestic and international calls.
