Long Distance Rates for College Students

College Students - Call home for free! Avoid campus rip-offs! Living away from home is tough, especially if you are on a tight budget. Odds are, calling your friends and family back home can cost a fortune each month. We understand first hand the struggle of making ends meet during college. Though there are many costs associated with a higher education, large phone bills should not be one of them.

These days the cell phone is the best way to call home for free, but if you're in areas where your cell phone doesn't work or you're running low on minutes, these ideas might prove helpful for staying in touch with family and friends.

EasyCall recommends that you get rid of your parent's calling card, which costs on average 10 to 25 cents/min. Ask your parents to set up a toll free number with Simplicity for only 3.9¢/min. Your parents won't have to switch their long distance carrier to get one either! This way you can call home for free, from any phone, and your parents will save up to 75% in the process!

And for the calls that you have to pay for (non-toll free calls), we recommend a billed calling card (as opposed to prepaid). Call anywhere, from anywhere, for one low rate of  5.9 cents/min with the FlexTelONE Calling Card.  With your FlexTelONE Card, your days of hassling with roommates over phone bills are over.  Your bill will even be posted online via your own personalized secure web site!  And best of all, you get 5.9¢/min anywhere you go; not just calling from your apartment or dorm! FlexTelONE is an especially good choice if you're planning to travel abroad since it works from over 50 countries.
