The Ratewatcher Guide usually features a chart displaying Dial-Around (10-10) offers – Where is it?
A. Given the drop in prices for the best presubscribed calling plans and prepaid calling accounts, we no longer recommend 10-10 dial-around options. For example, Vartec’s 10-10-811 has been very popular in Maine, but why pay a 50¢ per-call minimum plus a monthly USF surcharge and a 5¢/minute rate when you can beat the rate, avoid the minimum, and get a lower USF surcharge with a presubscribed calling plan? Using the best prepaid offer, you can get a much lower rate and avoid all surcharges and taxes too.
