Additional Product Info
With our FirmRate Advantage Calling Plan, you get:
- A rate of 6.4¢ per minute for direct-dialed state-to-state long distance calls
- Calls rated in six-second increments with an 18-second minimum
- Competitive per-minute rates for direct-dialed in-state long distance calls (contact your Verizon account representative for all in-state rates)
- Term options available at great discounted rates
- No fee to switch to Verizon long distance service
- One-call customer service
You also get the same low per-minute rate for all your state-to-state inbound toll-free calls. And if you’re switching from another carrier, you can keep your current toll-free number. Calling card calls carried and billed by Verizon are the same per minute rate as your direct dialed calls. The Verizon long distance calling card is available to businesses that choose Verizon for their long distance service.
FirmRate Advantage offers you the same low rate for all your state-to-state direct-dialed domestic long distance calls, no matter when or where you call. There are no monthly plan fees, but if your applicable long distance usage in any month is less than $10, your account will be billed a total of $10 for that month.
You’ll be charged an early termination fee if you cancel your FirmRate Advantage plan before the end of the agreed-upon term. This early termination charge is 35% of your MSL commitment multiplied by the number of months remaining in the term of the agreement.

Long distance services are provided by Verizon Enterprise Solutions (VES). Only charges imposed by VES contribute to the MSL, including charges for direct-dialed regional and long distance toll calls, operated-assisted calls and VES calling card long distance calls, and charges under international calling plans and toll-free service. Charges imposed by other Verizon affiliates, including your local Verizon telephone company, do not contribute to the MSL. Charges such as taxes, Universal Service Fund (USF) surcharges, presubscribed inter-exchange carrier charges, pay phone charges, early termination charges, nonrecurring charges and calling card usage (carried by a carrier other than VES) also do not contribute to the MSL. A shortfall charge, equal to the difference between the MSL and the actual amount spent on long distance charges, will apply for each month that you do not reach your MSL in that month.
All calling card charges will appear on your local phone company bill. Applicable per-call surcharges may apply. A 50¢ surcharge will apply to all calls placed from a domestic pay phone. International calls that terminate to wireless phones or premium services may incur additional charges.
Additional charges, taxes, surcharges and restrictions apply. Detailed pricing information will be available when you place your order.
