How come calling cards cost like 5 times as much for in state numbers versus out of state calls?

it seems to me it should be the other way around

How come calling cards cost like 5 times as much for in state numbers versus out of state calls?
I think that out of state is like one on one here to there one company to another company only .. In state it acts like the Maffia every onet want a piece of the pie.... here a buck you a buck every one gets something surcharge this and that etc. good question, that's lmy opinion
Reply:With telcos, in-state calling is always more expensive than out of state calling. I think it has something to do with state taxes.





With VoIP services, it doesn't matter if you are calling next door, across state, or across USA/Canada the rates are the same. Try rolling your own Calling Card using VoIP as the backbone carriers: http://www.cqvoip.com for as low as 2 cents/min anywhere in USA/Canada and many places abroad.
Reply:It doesn't make any sense. I started using this service which is 1.9 cents to to make calls both instate and out of state (http://MiniCalls.com)


It saved me tons of money.
