Whats the difference between per-minute long-distance rates and the new nationwide calling packages I see?

As a result of advances in technology and the growing popularity of wireless calling plans, the use of “per-minute” rates to charge for long-distance calling is on the wane. Wireless plans have made “nationwide calling minutes” the popular standard for customers, and Internet-based transmission technologies are making calling rates based on time and type of call (interstate or intrastate) meaningless; i.e., voice communication is becoming more a “commodity” service in which calls will be considered the same, regardless of when the call is made and where it originates and terminates. Chesnee Communications and other providers are moving away from the traditional per-minute rate structure that’s been used to charge for long-distance calls. Similar to the nationwide/regional package of minutes included in wireless calling plans, we now offer calling plans with a flat-rate charge for varying minutes of “nationwide” calling.
