That's roughly $4.50 per minute. I can call central Mongolia for
less than that! You need to switch phone carriers.

I'm in southern AZ, and can call anywhere in the US or Canada for
under 5 cents a minute.

We have a Verizon set up for $59 a month that allows unlimited calling
within the U.S. and Canada. No time limits, not set times, zip, nada,
zilch. It sounds a bit high at first, but even at nickel a word, you
can run up some major charges when your wife calls her parents or
siblinigs and yaks for a couple, three hours, three or four times a
week (among the joys of aging parents is keeping track of their well
being from several hundred miles away).
