Can't help you there. We have free nationwide long distance through our local landline phone company.

I use my cell, (AT&T) I'm sorry I can't help either.

When I used a long distance carrier I used One Suite. Now we use our cells.

My long distance plan is part of my Verizon cell phone service.

Mom has a Jitterbug cell with 15 minutes a month. Don't want to change from land line.

Watch me, I'll check that one out, thank you.

I do not have long distance on my land line. I am with ATT.

I have unlimited long distance calling through Frontier landline but years ago I went through Total Call for long distance as it was so much cheaper then. I don't know if they are still in business.

I dropped the expensive long distance from our land line (AT&T). Then I discovered that 'long distance' was required for anything more than five miles from my home! I didn't reinstate it, and use a cell phone for those calls. I'm tempted to drop the land line altogether when I drop my terrible internet from AT&T. (Only 'basic' service available in my town. I'm getting Comcast.)

Way back in 1990, I traveled occasionally on business and got a Master Card (credit card) that was also an ATT calling card. I could pick up any land line phone, call an 800 number on the card, enter a 4 digit PIN to get me into ATT's phone service. Once in, I could call any number in the US for the cost of a local call. Since cells phones arrived, I have not used this card to make calls so do not know if it still works. In its day, it was convenient. One time, I had a Sprint cell phone, was at my sister's place and tried to use it to make a motel reservation. It found a cell tower but would not complete the call. I had to resort to my credit card calling service. (It turns out that Sprint stretched the truth in advertising a bit - claimed to have nationwide coverage - nope. Turns out it was nationwide only within 15 miles of the interstate system.) After that trip, we changed cell phone service. Today, I know nothing about Sprint's coverage.

If you don't have a cell phone with unlimited calling, buy earphones with a microphone for $10 and try using Skype on your PC (or someone's old smartphone) over the internet. Unlimited US long distance calling is something like $3/month.

Use Magic Jack, its less then $50 a yr.

Mom will be 88 in September, no internet or computer.

How much long distance calling is involved here? At her age, maybe it's worth a couple bucks more to just make it easier for her to dial over the landline without calling cards, cell phones, internet and the other hassles? Otherwise you can get a Tracfone cheap enough.

If you use calling cards, program the speed dial on the phone (when so equipped) to simplify it for her.

We went with the cable phone service.
