ABSTRACT:
A method for making a long distance or international telephone call is disclosed. A subscriber calls an assigned telephone number to access a sign-up calling plan service billed to a home plan at the home plan rates, and responds to a service announcement by entering the subscriber's home telephone number and a personal identification number that validates the caller. Another service announcement is responded to by the subscriber entering a selection responsive to whether the long distance call is an international call or not. To complete the call, the subscriber enters the long distance telephone number.
