Will I still get charged fees even if I make no long distance calls?

There are no charges for the long distance service during a billing cycle if you make absolutely no long distance calls. The USF fee, in-state connection fee, and carrier cost recovery fee are only charged if you make long distance calls during that billing cycle.*

*For companies that charge a monthly fee (ECG and PowerNet Global) then the monthly charges and fee will apply even if no calls are made.

Long Distance - Did you know?

The USF fee is a mandatory fee implemented by the FCC. Companies can however charge a higher % than required. A higher USF fee can have a significant effect on your final bill. We include the USF Fee into our "Yearly Savings" formula which has a significant role in which plan has the highest Yearly Savings value.

This fee goes to High Cost/Low Income Fund, Schools, Libraries, Rural Health Care, and Telecommunications Relay Services or TRS Fund.
