* According to a the FCC's 2004 Trends in Telephone Service Report, released 5/04, american housholds average 90 minutes of long distance usage per month from land-based phone lines (non-cellular).We spend an average of 44 minutes making calls within the state (intra-state) and an average of 42 minutes making calles to other states (inter-state). On average, a call lasts 7.1 minutes. In order to accurately represent these numbers in our system, we simply divided average number of minutes by the average length of a call. The resuts are roughly 6 in-state calls per month totalling 42 minutes of in-state usage and 6 state-to-state calls per month totalling 56 minutes. We recognize that your specific habits may vary from these averages and that it may seem like you make more than 13 calls a month. But do remember that many of your calls may only last 1 minute while one or two may last an hour. This is why we use the averages.
