Long distance charges for phones are an anachronism, rendering an 800 number worth less than it used to be. I’ve had an 800 number for more than 25 years because I cover a large area. If I were starting over today, I’m not sure it would be worth the bother. Nearly all cell phone plans include domestic long distance. I switched one of my land lines to a Cable line, and the long distance is also included. If you are living in a non-urban cell-tower-less wasteland, you have my sympathy, but you are in a small minority. I can understand questioning the amount of the annual dues (which amount I think is reasonable) but if you can’t spend a buck to call the home office, brother, you need to raise your rates.
