9 Cents a Minute Long Distance

I got a flyer in the mail from a long distance carrier who promises long distance at nine cents a minute, with a monthly access charge of $4.95. The offer is from WorldXChange, and it's called "Talk Cents". You can dial the number directly and have it billed to your local access company by dialing "10502" plus the number, or you can subscribe by calling 1-800-569-8700. I tried using the 10502 access, and it seemed like a pretty solid connection; caveat, I'm dialing from Boston, so Hawaii is a local call for me; but it sounds like a few other people dialing Hawaii have had good connections on real long distance calls using "Talk Cents". I've got no affiliation with WorldXChange, and don't know anything else about them aside from what I've read in their flyer and having sucessfully used the access number. Anybody else heard of them, or using them? Are there any other long distance carriers out there than can beat 10 cents a minute? Charlie Heath Papyrus Design Group

I tried it from Ca, and had problems connecting. When I did connect, 1 out of 3 or 4 races, I was dumped! Finally went back to AT&T's 12cents a minute. Gary Hamann Fremont, Ca "Piece a Cake"

Well, Sprint's 10 cents/minute rate is actually 9 cents/minute because you get 10% cash back at the end of the year. The main kicker is that there is no minimum to use and no monthly fee. I've been using it for quite some time and have not had one bad connection. I guess some people think that it is too strict because you can only get 10 cents/minute if you call between 7:00pm and 7:00am on weekdays or between 7:00pm Friday to 7:00am Monday morning. If you call any other time it is something like 25 cents/minute. Gee, that's never bothered me. PS - I also am not affiliated with any phone company. Just putting in my 9 cents/minute. :)

I'm an independent rep for a company called Excel. We have $0.09 per minute plan called Simply One. It's very similar to Sprint's well publicized calling plan, but its only $0.09 per minute from 7p.m. to 7 a.m. and $0.25 per minute any other time. There is a $1 per month surcharge. The service does not require dialing any digits after dialing 1, it's 1 + number, just like the big guys. This program is brand new, and I'm still waiting to get brochures. I'll be happy to send one to anybody who's interested when they come in, just Mark Critchett Hawaii: Critch

I got a flyer in the mail about a month ago for a long distance service that claims to get Long Distance Minutes at Wholesale rates. The discount is based on how many miles are between the caller and the called numbers. On State to State calls it breaks down like this. 0-925 miles Save 15% 926-1,910 miles Save 20% 1,911-3,000 miles Save 25% 3,001-4,250 miles Save 30% 4,251-Plus Save 50%. From texas to boston using thier code and standard AT&T service I had a normal, for me :-), connection that averaged 11.7 cents per minute. the code is 10297 then the standard 1+phone number. True this is more than the .09 and .10 rates others are talking about. However they state that they can get Sprint for the same discounts. so. If you're calling from over 4,250 miles away and using sprint during .10 times it would be .05. Cool. I'm thinking of moving further away from Boston now. :-).

and they all charge the same rates give or take a couple cents per minute. When they call I ask 3 questions: 1.How much is it during the day? .20-.25 2.How much at night/weekends? .10 3.How much are you going to pay me? $50-100 And these idiots keep paying and paying. Jeff
