LowerMyBills.com Expert Review REVIEW - OPEX was purchased by Total Call International (TCI) in mid 2008. TCI and Opex are still offering separate long distance calling plans as detailed below. After selecting this plan the correspondence between yourself and this company will reflect both company names Opex/TCI. OPEX offers this plan as an option in areas that do not qualify for their lower rate plans. This usually means you have LOCAL phone service with a smaller independent phone company which charge higher rates for companies like OPEX to operate. The 0.99 cent monthly fee applies per telephone line. Each additional line after the main telephone number will be charged the same 0.99 amount. PAPER Vs. EMAIL BILL - While you can choose to receive a Paper Bill in the mail each month, we recommend opting for the email version of the invoice. OPEX will waive the Minimum usage fee for all customers choosing the email version. Many companies are offering this additional benefit to reduce the costs associated with sending a physical bill in the mail. Receiving a paper bill will generate a fee of $1.99 per month. NEW TOLL FREE RATES - Opex announced that starting December 2012 they are offering rates starting at less than one cent per minute. Monthly fee for toll free services is $3.99 or $5.99 for vanity numbers. The monthly fee can be waived if you use more than $5 a month in toll free calling charges. A one time set up cost of $9.99 will be charged or $14.99 for a vanity number. Billing Increment: Domestic calls are billed in 6 second increments after the first 18 seconds (18/6 billing). All International calls are billed in 60 second increments.
