“True, but I don’t see anything wrong. . .yet”. I said, a little worried but no panic yet.

In recent years, “10-10” long distance services have been very popular for long distance calls. You simply dial the “10-10” plan’s 7-digit access code, then the area code and number you wish to call – and receive the discounted rates offered by the “10-10” company. This is an easy way to take advantage of lower rates – without having to switch your long distance company. The Internet is a great resource for finding the rates and numbers of “10-10” companies in your area.

In the future, all your communication services could be on just one bill – which bodes well for the surely-coming-soon adoption of mobile Internet, doesn’t it?
