Fed up with long-distance rates? Had it with commercials promising a crummy 10 or 20 percent reduction in those rates?

For instance: if you pay the monthly flat rate that's common in cyberspace connections, you could get up in the morning and begin a phone call to a pal across the city, the country or the globe, and keep the line open to swap observations and bon mots all day, or ll week. The price: not a penny more on your $19.95 monthly bill.
