A switching fee may be charged by your local phone company to change the long distance carrier code (PICC CODE) on your account.  As you saw in the previous question, some of the long distance carriers may credit you for this fee. It should only be a one-time fee that ranges from $5 to $10.  Keep in mind if you have to pay the fee, it will be well worth it when you start using your new low long distance rate!

Long Distance - Did you know?

We do not list plans with rates that differ by time of day or day of the week.

Each plan may only offer two separate rates: Out-of State and In-State rates. We believe in the K.I.S.S philosophy (Keep It Simple Stupid)
