On a quarterly basis, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) modifies the contribution rate that long distance carriers pay into the "Universal Service Fund" (USF). USF supports funding for telecommunications services to eligible schools, libraries and rural health care facilities. The USF fee assessed on your interstate long distance and related services is equal to the FCC's approved contribution rate. FCC contribution rates may be accessed at:

Did you know that the number of international long distance calls from the United States has skyrocketed from only about 200 million a year to more than 6.2 billion per year over the past 20 years? With so many international calls being made on a regular basis, consumers need to have the best information on how to make and how to save on those calls. Whether you call your friend in China once a year just to say "hello," or call your family in Mexico on a weekly basis, you want to make your calls with ease, and at the best rates available.

Washington, D.C. – Beginning July 31, 2001, interstate domestic long distance companies will no longer file tariffs with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This change means that long distance telephone companies will have to make their service and rate information available to their customers. Tariffs are the legally binding contracts that outline the rates, terms and conditions of long distance companies’ services. Previously, the applicable tariff would govern the rates and terms of service, even if the tariff was inconsistent with other information that long distance companies provided to consumers.
