One of the most common types of long distance phone plans is traditional switched long distance. This type of service requires you to have local phone service and choose a long distance carrier. Then you must go through a sign up and verification process to begin using the service. Then, you have 10 10 long distance services (dial arounds). These days, cell phones give you free long distance as part of your service. However, these calls do count against your airtime. So, be careful and make your long distance calls accordingly or during off peak times. VOIP is another great option for unlimited domestic long distance and this type of service generally has some pretty decent international long distance rates.

But, based on years of research in this area, quality pre-paid long distance phone plans are generally your best bet.
