What
are some alternative uses that might help defend your household against
distance charges?
Here are Some Ideas …
What can
you do to avoid the $12 per line "distance" charge that Qwest
currently imposes? You may be able to reduce the number of "wired"
phone lines in your home by considering these options for voice, Internet,
and fax services:

Voice:
Unfortunately, your only choices right now for "wired" phone
service are Qwest and McLeod, and both will hit you for the $12/month
per line "distance" fee.
Consider
going wireless, for at least some of your phone lines — There are
countless deals available through various companies and you may even be
able to get a better deal by signing up for a "family plan."

Internet:
If you have a wired phone line that you use mainly for internet access,
take a look at the services that offer high-speed internet access without
using a phone line. Add up how much you're spending on wired phone line
charges, distance charges, taxes, and your monthly ISP bill about what you
would pay for high-speed options. (See Internet

Fax
and Voice Messaging:
If you have
a phone line in order to be able to receive faxes, you could eliminate
that phone line by switching to one of the web and/or your e-mail based
fax services - you'll save money and have features that aren't available
with traditional fax machines. (See
