What is the monthly Basic Rate charge on my bill?
The Monthly Recurring Charge for Basic Rate appears on your bill under the Products and Services section of the Long Distance portion of your bill. The $4.95 Monthly Recurring Charge is billed on a monthly basis. For example, if you receive an AT&T bill covering 3 months, you will receive a monthly recurring charge for each of the 3 months. This charge does not apply to AT&T long distance Lifeline customers. There are alternate AT&T Long Distance calling plans that you may review to find one that may be right for you.
