Pros: Easy to set up. Monthly update of usage via email.

Cons: None

Summary: I am putting in a plug here for Pioneers' good service. I have been using them since March 2006 and have no complaints. I initially set up long distance with them because I needed to have a dial tone for my DSL service and home alarm system and Verizon's cheapest long distance rate was $3.99/mo + cost of call. Well, I use my cell phone as my main phone so an extra $4 an month seemed crazy, its' bad enough I was paying Verizon $12/mo just to have a dial tone. Pioneer saved me money since even though I don't use my home phone much, I do make the occasional call and being in MD close to DC sometimes calls less than a mile away are considered long distance. Anyway long story short Pioneer gave me a $10 credit and two years later I still have $3.26 remaining.

Long Distance - Did you know?

Many people think using Calling Cards are less expensive than using regular long distance. How can this be? Don’t they have to pay for the usage of the same lines as everyone else? Sure they do, but calling card companies have become experts in marketing tactics!

Read the fine print of the calling card, they often charge for units, not minutes. A unit can be any measure of time they decide, plus they often have minimum call amounts and round up to the next unit. The bottom line is, they have done the math, and it’s going to cost most people more money than selecting a good long distance plan.
