About Phone Service: Why Use the Major Players?

There are currently 6 major players in the local and long distance phone market in the US: Sprint, AT&T, MCI, Verizon, Qwest, and SBCl. Most people are ignorant of the fact that when they sign up for their local phone service and long distance, that they can do something other than automatically let the company that sets up their phone line(s) be the one to actually run the service.

But they should become more educated about it. Why? Because according to recent reports, going with any of the major players (mentioned above) is often more expensive than signing up for a local carrier.

When it comes to saving money on your phone bill, it is true that across much of the US, going with one of the major players' competitors will save you money. This is not true in all areas
