Top 7 things to look for in a long distance provider

1. Freedom to easily switch to any carrier
   Choose a carrier that has no fixed monthly fees.
   You don't need to pay monthly fixed fees. You should be free to switch providers without having to cancel special plans.
   
   
2. Insurance against outrageous rates
   Your long distance carrier should allow you to block international calls or make them so cheap you need never worry about a surprise enormous phone bill. If you can then find a calling card with better rates, use it to save even more. But direct use of your phone line should should always have fair rates.
   
   
3. Fair billing
   You want consistent low rates with no hidden charges. Many carriers have extra low promo rates that change, unusually uneven rates to different countries, and hidden gouging on taxes and tariffs.
   
   
4. No complicated or promotional plans
   See how major providers like SBC, AT&T, MCI, Verizon, Sprint, and Qwest
   AT&T, MCI, Verizon, SBC etc. are the least trustworthy.
