In 10 years of using cellphones I have never been charged for long distance calls. There are phone companies of course who charge extra for long distance but, I wouldn’t have paid for it. In other words I would not go with a cell phone company that charges extra for long distance.
For most of the 10 years that I have been using cell phones I have been with T-Mobile. My most recent plan with T-Mobile included 1000 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends and, for $5, unlimited text messaging. And of course there was unlimited long distance. This is not a package plan that T-Mobile has, but, they were some things that they did to keep me as a satisfied customer. T-Mobile is a great cell phone company.
Even ATT doesn’t charge me for long distance and they are not at all one of my favorite companies. They are very expensive. I pay much more now for way less service – my punishment for wanting the iPhone. I love the iPhone. I just wish someone else could be a service provider. I’d still be with T-Mobile if they had iPhone.
At any rate I don’t think I have heard of very many cell phone companies that charge for long distance. In fact most people use their cell phones exclusively for long distance instead of a home phone.
