Attention 10-10-987 Users
If you have been lucky enough to escape a shocking increase in your phonebill, let me warn you: 10-10-987 has increased their domestic (state-to-state) rate to 6 cents/minute. Unlike the former minimal requirement of 57 cents per call (roughly a 15 minute call at the 4 cent rate), there is now a 53 cent connection fee on every call. Some deals are just too good to be true while others never last.
When you get back out there to look for a more reasonable dial-around, be sure to check out: http://www.dialaround1010.com/ This option is just 5.5 cents/min. without a connection fee. There is a minimal monthly requirement of $5.00 if you access the service; however, you will not be charged anything during months without use. Another good one to be aware of is the "Cerca" plan at: http://www.dialuno.com/ This plan is pretty straight-forward and perfect for those of us who do not spend $5.00/month on long distance. The rate is 6.9 cents/min. -- without a connection fee or minimal requirement. Both of these plans are hosted by Primus Telecommunications. After interrogating a customer service agent, I am assured that these rates will remain steady. While there is no increase in sight, Primus is careful to give customers advance notice of any plan changes.
Best Wishes in 2008! May your phonecalls bring you joy without costing a fortune.

BEWARE of 1010987 Telecom USA. For the last 5 years, I have been using 1010987 to call Germany. Much to my surprise when I saw my phone bill, I had a $156.80 charge through VERIZON. I called 1010987 customer service, and was told in no uncertain terms that it was my fault that I did not dial 1010987. As this is the only number I have used to call Germany, 1010987 called me a liar and said too bad. It looks like I will have to pay VERIZON the $156.80. I will not use 1010987 again, as I cannot trust them to connect my calls.
