10-321: DOES IT REALLY SAVE MONEY?
(Now, to quote Dennis Miller, "That's my opinion, I could be wrong..." And all respective trademarks and copyrights are property of Telecom USA - the 10321 folks, and anyone else I mention on this page.)

OK, now back to the 10321 story...

HOW DO THOSE 10-321 ADVERTISEMENTS WORK? 
(You have seen the 10321 ads… you've used the 1010 code, but did you really save??)

The answer, well, yes, maybe, sort of, and no. The 1010321 commercials ask you to re-route your call over their long distance network, instead of using your primary long distance carrier. By doing so, you are charged at the assigned rates of the carrier's code you dialed, NOT the rates of your primary long distance carrier.

This is both good and bad news: if you currently pay more than 4-8 cents a minute from your long distance carrier then by using a dial around code to re-route your call, you save money on your long distance calling.

A major consumer analysis magazine recently found that for international calls:

"Several dial-around services charge just 10 cents or less per minute for calls to the United Kingdom, other European countries, and Canada. Elsewhere, you'll find a lot of variation. For example, when we compared rates for ten dial-around services for calls to Saudi Arabia, we found per-minute charges of as little as 78 cents all day to as much as $2.45 per minute during peak hours with MCI's 10-10-321."

JUST WHO IS 10-321? 10-10321? 10 321?
Telecom-USA is a division of MCI. MCI?? Yep, MCI.
