Access codes can save you money, but you must know how to use them wisely. Utilizing an access code does not change your preferred long distance carrier. You will likely get a bill from the company providing the access code in addition to a bill from your preferred long distance provider. Ask how you will be billed Charges Know what the fees and conditions are before you use the code. Ask the company's customer service representative about this.
Some companies charge a monthly service fee plus a charge for each call.
However, you may be charged a monthly fee even if you do not make any calls in a given month. So, even if long distance calls are cheaper with the access code than those with your long distance carrier, the total bill for the access code calls may be higher. Monthly charges may continue even if you are not using the access code. If you no longer use the code, call the company and tell them you want to stop the service. Ask them to stop billing you.
