Is 10-10-220 a good deal? 

Skip to Conclusion

 

The Telecom*USA 10-10-220 program has been advertised heavily by well known sports figures.  But is it really a good deal?  A review of their website (www.1010220.com/rate_domestic.html)  in December of  2003, shows they no longer offer the "20 minutes for just a buck" program and has more than doubled their rates. 

 

The once heavily advertised 10-10-220 program that offered you, in our opinion, a questionable deal to start with, is now charging $1 for 15 minutes and 15 cents per minute after that.  This is an incredibly bad deal. .

 

Take a look at the Table A.  As you can see, if you make a 10-10-220 call and take 1 minute or less, you pay 99 cents per minute.  Think of it this way:  If you call and leave a message on an answering machine or voice mail, you paid 99 cents to leave that message. That's an expensive message.

 

If you talk for 15 minutes the 10-10-220 call will cost you $.99  At 20 minutes the same call you used to pay  $.99 for now cost you $1.74.  And now it will cost you 15 cents for every minute after that.

 

Compare this to  using a service such as CogniState at just 2.7¢ per minute for any duration of call or Unitel where all calls can be just  1.64¢ per minute in some areas.   Even AT&T, who is not known for cheap rates, can give you a flat rate of just 7 cents per minute for any duration of call.

 

If you have a cable modem, the deals can be even better with Packet8.   Unlimited local and long distance calls for $19.95 per month.
