Save time and money by comparing rates of more than a dozen 10-10 and 10-x dial around phone plans side-by-side at 10-10 PhoneRates.com. Some rates vary by more than one-thousand percent (1,000%!). Making calls with a 10-10 service does not require signing up for anything or switching your regular phone service. Simply dial the plan's seven-digit code ( such as 10-16-868, for example), then the phone number you are calling. You'll be billed for the calls on your local phone bill. Since rates do change, bookmark this site or place it in your AOL favorites. It's a good idea to visit at least once a month and see who is offering the best deal for you.
