Toll Free Numbers -- The Cheapest Way to Phone Home
For people in the U.S. who often make calls to a single long distance U.S. number while away from home.
Caller
The easiest answer here is to get a personal toll-free number for the phone line you call back to the most. Then when you are away and you want to call that number, you just dial the toll-free number -- that means no calling card numbers to remember, no PINs, and the charge will automatically go on your bill. Better yet, the toll-free rates are much better than calling card rates. Many people use this for college kids. The parents get the toll-free number for their home phone and then the college student simply dials the toll-free number to call home. The charge for the call will appear on the parent's phone bill. Many carriers will issue a toll-free number at no charge if you use the carrier for residential service. Here is the PhoneMyHome.com Top 10 for toll-free numbers.
