There are many companies that offer long distance phone
services. Before you sign up for one of them you need to
understand the basics of long distance phone calls and
decide which one would best suit your purpose.

When you sign up for long distance service, you need to
change or switch your long distance provider. It usually
takes several days before you have the service active on
your line. Once you have the service established, you will
be dialing directly from your phone. Switched long distance
service only works for the lines on which it was activated
and it doesn't work from cell phones.

Prepaid calling cards provide you with instant long
distance. Calling cards work with any touch tone phone and
an access number and authorization code (PIN) needs to be
dialed before each long distance call.

The most reliable long distance service is the switched
service which is generally the service on your home or
business phone. This service uses a different technology
for establishing a connection to your destination number
but the service is usually a little higher than those of
calling cards.

Many online companies use Third Party Verification (TPV) as
an electronic signature when signing up to switch your long
distance provider online. This will automatically record
your permission to switch the service.

It usually takes 3-4 business days to activate the service.
This period may vary, depending on your local phone company
and other factors. You will be given a 700 test number to
dial from your line. There is usually a message, saying that
your service is activated. The number and message vary by
carrier and rate plan.

Once the service is set up on your line, you will be dialing
directly. You will keep your local phone company, but you
will be receiving a separate bill for your long distance
calls.

Toll free numbers are normally used by businesses to allow
their customers to call them at no cost to the customer.

With the basic knowledge of what the long distance phone
services offer, you can make your choice according to the
purpose for which you will need to make long distance calls.
