International Long Distance
Q. Can I call a friend overseas on their cellular phone?
A. Yes. The charge per minute is the same as the country charge in the International Long
Distance Rate chart,
UNLESS there is a separate rate given for that country with “Cellular” written next to it.
Example: France (cellular). When there is a separate cellular rate given, that is the price
you’ll pay for making a phone call to a cellular phone in that country.
Q. What does “NGN” mean on the International Long Distance Rates page?
A. NGN stands for “Non-Geographic Number”. It applies to audiotext and other
information services in the foreign country. These are the equivalent of 900 phone
numbers in the United States. It is more expensive to place a call to this type of phone number.
Q. Is my long distance carrier's state to state rate good for Hawaii and Alaska?
A. No, it is the rate for state-to-state calls within the continental U.S.
To get the rates for Hawaii and Alaska for your area, look under “International” or use the
International long distance rate calculator which gives both the international and off-shore rates.
Q. Which of the long distance carriers have the best rates for international long distance calls?
A. You can start looking here for the
Cogniworld ultra low long distance international rates
, the
PNG international long distance program
offered by PowerNet Global, and the
Global FiberNet extreme international long distance
call program.
Q. Does the ZeroCents plan cover international calling also? or does ZeroCents have a separate international plan?
A. International calling is not included in the ZeroCents Unlimited Long Distance Plan. They
do not offer a separate international calling plan at the moment.
Q. Does the 6 second billing increment apply to international phone calls?
A. No. For most of the carriers, the minimum per international long distance call is 30 seconds.
