Hello CD's,
Summary of the problem :
I am located outside the GTA and make long distnce calls to the GTA using my Bell Landline and using 10-10-256 (ALO) long distance provider. They charge around 2.5 cents a min. for US and Canada. Recently my monthly bill for only calling Toronto came to around $17.

Solution needed :
Does any one know what is the cheapest long distance available (That I can use through Bell Landline? We discontinued using phone cards since either the phone card was not good or we misplaced them and could not find it.

Any pointers appricated.
TK A

Hi 7Wonders,

We use this service from online tel for the last 3 years. I think, It used to be $15 plus tax earlier and now it is $37.50 plus tax. However, You get only 200 calls per month and maximum duration for any call is 30 minutes. You can use this service for most of Ontario and some other places. You can see the call remaining on the website immediately and can register up to 3 numbers for this service.

However, for calling India I am now using the service referred by you. I told them that you referred me to them and they promised to credit your bill with the 5% of my monthly spending. Please confirm if you are getting this credit on your bill or not. If not, then I can take up the matter with them.

So far, I am satisfied with the service, billing and ease of use. I can access my bill and call details on line (though not immediately). The rates they are giving right now are 6.9 cents to all over India including mobile numbers and 2.9 cents to any where in Canada or USA, which is good. Moreover, they automatically credit me for the calls of less then 1 minute which saves the hassle of calling them as we had to do with G3Telecom.

TK:

If you already have an active bell line installed, checkout Primus Tel or Yak. Both have good rates. They have a unlimited north american calling also. It is definitely cheaper than bell and no need to call 800 numbers or 10-10 numbers.

I use stanacard. for long distance

www.stanacard.com

I have no issues with them.

and also instead of dialing the wholw number like : 011-91-0000-0000

I just dial a local number -- like 647-000-0000 and it connects me to parents.

I have started using call select - they charge 3.9 c/m to India (land/cell) and 2.5c/m to N America ..... so far so good ... I switched over from Sears Connect.

I've read of countless complaints here and there on Comwave, Reliance, Airtel, Globe Telecom, etc. etc. etc. Man, do these companies suck for their dishonesty and pathetic service. Any company that charges you a security deposit without informing you beforehand are crooks! Crooks I say! I haven't tried Comwave yet...and I don't want to because a lot of officemates tell me not to since they charge hidden monthly fees. I'm so careful about giving out my credit card # to these companies because once they have it...WHAM...charges just start to magically appear on your monthly bill. Crooks.

A friend pointed me to G3 Telecom (although I prefer using it's sister company 10-10-ALO - see http://www.1010alo.ca)" rel="nofollow">LINK and they seem to be a lot better than most long distance providers when it somes to rates and customer service. So far so good. No complaints yet. They have prepaid and postpaid services and you pay for only the minutes you use. Right now their rate for India is 7.9¢. And if you're a new customer you qualify for 6.9¢ for 30 days.

I'm not one to advertise companies but hey, if they're good then why not. See http://www.g3telecom.com" rel="nofollow">LINK
