You might remember when if you wanted to make a phone call, local or long distance, you may have used a phone that was fixed to the wall. That long distance call might have cost you $.20 or more per minute. Then prices started to fall down to under $.10 per minute. Then along came cell phones.
When the cell phone started to get popular, sometime after 2001, it often seemed like a great way to save money. If you made all of your calls after 7:00 p.m. or on the weekends you could even call for free. So using landlines started to fall by the wayside. The downside though is that you would pay for more cell phone minutes than you would use, and if you would use them you might get charged if you went over. The result is that you might not save any money with a cell phone, but it is more convenient.
Not everyone loves the cell phone though. I myself will probably let my cell phone lapse when the contract is up in favor of voip. In some rural areas of Wisconsin though without adequate high speed internet access, this isn't an option. Can you still get great rates on landline long distance? You betcha, with some rates under $.02 a minute. For those that just want the cheapest way to call this can still be a good option if you still have a landline. At that rate 1000 minutes only cost you $20 plus taxes.
If you want to compare your current calling rates or cell phone bill with some of the lowest long distance rates in Wisconsin, or on the planet for that matter, I recommend that you try our comparing engine.
