I dumped SBC in So Cal as my LD carrier and now I'm simply dialing 10-10-220-XXX-XXX-XXXX when calling mom and pop in Vegas.

For me it's alot cheaper, but I suppose everybody's LD usage is different and the benefits of using such a service are subject to those variances.

Yeah, for me it pays to stick with SBC. $20/mo. (plus tax) gets me unlimited long distance, which is nice, since I call long distance for about an hour a day. Altogether, my local service w/caller ID, unlimited long distance, and DSL package are exactly $100 for the month all on the same bill, which is pretty good IMHO.
