Nationwide long distance

Connecting you to people around the country

Wherever they are, across the state or the country, you can tell them all about it and hear what's happening in their lives. For the best value, choose a phone plan that includes long-distance. If you choose a plan without long-distance included, you can select one of these long distance options to best fit your life. 

Here are your options for purchasing long-distance by the minute...
  • icon

    Simply 5 long distance. Just 5¢ a minute anytime, anywhere in the U.S. and its unincorporated territories. Lock in this low minute rate for a small monthly fee.

  • icon

    California Unlimited. When your friends and family live in California, the California Unlimited plan is for you – unlimited in-state calling, all the time. 

  • icon

    Nationwide Unlimited. When you call long distance over 300 minutes per month in the U.S., our Nationwide Unlimited plan can save you money. For a monthly fee, you get any time, anywhere in the U.S. unlimited calling for regular household use. 

  • icon

    Standard LD. Avoid a monthly fee for long distance when you choose the Standard LD plan. Should you make a long distance call, you'll only pay for the minutes you use. For few long distance calls, this is fine. If you make over 50 minutes of long distance calls, you will save more money by choosing Simply 5.

  • For calling around the world, add International long distance. Lower your calling costs on worldwide destinations by adding International long distance. As with nationwide long distance, our standard long distance rates apply unless you subscribe to a plan for International long distance.
