The following is quoted from the July 1995 MONEY Magazine article "Long Distance - How to Choose the Company That's Right for You." (Colors added for emphasis.) "If your using a standard calling card from any of the Big Three you're being ripped off. That's because, as explained above, they'll all hit you with charges of 80¢ or so per call. If you make a lot of calling-card calls, shop carefully. The best buy now is American Travel Network's card, sold in conjunction with the carrier LDDS, which charges 17.5¢ a minute." Page 115 "The Big Three's calling cards all have hefty surcharges. If you dial from the road, consider American Travel Network's Card at just 17.5¢ a minute." Page 112 "Finally, if you make a lot of long-distance calls from the road, bypass the standard calling cards offered by The Big Three. They're the ones with those hefty surcharges of 80¢ per call (79¢ with MCI). Instead go for a card issued by an upstart like American Travel Network, which levies no surcharges whatsoever and charges a flat rate of 17.5¢ a minute." Page 109 Instead of becoming more competitive, you can see that The Big Three's surcharges are even higher now. |
