- Do your homework! Compare calling plans and rates.
- Get the facts on dial-around savings. Advertised rates may be too good to be true.
- Check out the competition for international calls. Your long-distance carrier may not offer the best rates.
- Buy calling time and peace of mind. Purchase prepaid cards from companies you know and trust.
- Plan first, phone later for smart wireless calling.
- Say no to international scams that attract you with 800 numbers and tell you to dial “access codes” outside of the U.S.
- Protect your calling card or pin number from thieves and prying eyes.
- Calling collect “person-to-person” makes someone pay dearly. Instead, use a company’s 800 access number to place a call.
- Dialing “0″ for operator-assisted calls is easy but costly.
- Calling directly from hotel rooms and pay phones may save time but not money. Dial the extra digits — use prepaid or calling cards.
