Why does IDT have different long distance rates for some customers?
Your rate depends on where you live and who provides your local phone service. IDT offers you the lowest rate we can based on what your local company charges us for handing off your long-distance calls. For example, if your local provider is a regional Bell operating company, we offer a rate of 5¢ per minute for all your state-to-state long-distance calls. If your local provider is an independent company, we offer a rate of 5.9¢ per minute. Also, in-state long-distance calls are usually more expensive than state-to-state because local companies generally charge us more for handing off these calls.
