Why is prepaid long distance better than regular long distance service?
Prepaid long distance is advantageous for many reasons. By prepaying for your long distance you know exactly how much money you are spending at all times. There are no surprise charges or excessive phone bills come month-end. Most significantly, however, is that post-pay long distance providers spend up to 1/3 of your phone bill for collections and bad-debt retrieval. With prepaid long distance, this money goes directly towards lowering rates for your phone calls.
