Why does it cost so much to call long distance?

Question

I live in Ontario and when I call my aunt in romania I can't talk for long

Answer 1

I found out about www.voipraidertoday.com today.  Great international rates and all you need is a computer.  Romania landline is free and the cell phone is 10 cents a minute.

Good luck!

Answer 2

There is a wonderful service name SKYPE but you and the caller will need a computer to download the software to your computer. It is really simple. Once you have downloaded the software you will need a headset and you can talk as much as you want. The site is listed for you below.

Answer 3

whenever you call international it's going to be pricey. try a different long distance carrier it might save you some money.

this website gives you deals on several  long distance carriers. I prefer covista.

Answer 4

If you use VoIP, you can call very cheaply compared to your Telco LD rates.

There are many ways to use VoIP:

CallCentric is one of my primary carriers.  Their rates to Romania landlines is 5.4¢ per min.  They have a free downloadable softphone for making VoIP calls from your PC (you just need a headset and microphone).

But, if you don't want to fuss with VoIP equipment, you can just use one of CallCentrics Calling Card gatways to call from a regular phone or cell and still get the VoIP rates.  They have many local area gateways in Ontario.  Learn how at http://www.cqvoip.com

So, now you can call Romania for 5.4 cent/min, using a Calling Card gateway.

If you happen to be calling Bucharest, Romania their rate is only 3.8¢ per min.
