On average, how much is your long-distance phone bill?

Somewhere arround $30 I think.

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

Usually $0. Almost all of my family is just beyond the local area, in the toll zone.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

I have a cell phone and all of my local and long distance are included in my monthly bill of $38.67

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

We do all our long distance calling on our cell phones, so we have a certain number of minutes per month and so far we haven't gone over our newest package.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

My husband and I each have a cell phone with a long distance plan. The cost is just over $200 per month, which is what our phone bill was back in the days of a "land line" phone. But now we each have a phone with more features (voicemail, call forwarding, call waiting, etc) and people can actually reach us.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

I'd say it was $40-$60 a month, but now I have a combo plan where my local and long distance are all on one bill for $55 a month. Way better than before!!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

Probably about $30-$40. I try and use my cell phones free weekend minutes for my long distance calls.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

If I make two long distance calls a month it's a lot... and I don't keep track of the charges but I do try to keep the call-time at a minimum. Most of my long-distance communication now is done online ~ a great savings.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

About 30 dollars.

Tam

On the average, my long-distance bill is somewhere between 0 and 60 cents.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

About $30-$40/month. Almost everywhere is long distance from where we are.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

i use phone cards, and they usually last a while, i dont call many people--mostly i use email and im

Cara, 18
Valparasio, IN USA

$10 - $15 a month

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

My telephone service comes from a small, independent telephone company with fewer than 50,000 customers. Since my family--and my husband's family--all live outside of our calling area, our long distance bills fluctuate wildly according to where the current family crisis is being hosted.

Long distance charges have been as low as $6 and as high as $112 within the last year.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Pretty light, everybody's local. Can't really pull up a number right now.

Alias Irrelevante

I don't know; my husband pays it. I can't imagine it's too much. . .our long-distance calls are rarely
longer than five minutes.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

Lately it's been around $40 but that's my cell phone bill ;)

Ashley, 20
Jacksonville, FL USA

My long distance is zero. My phone service gives me 100 free minutes each month, I have a cell phone that I can use and a prepaid calling card.

Laney, 60
TX USA

We get free long distance on our cell phones, so we use that if we have to do it. But thats still only 1 time a month.
