All Sprint rates are the same for both residence and business service, although the volume discounts migh be a bit better for businesses. They charge me 11 cents to about 19 cents per minute, depending on the time of day, whether the call is from Massachusetts or California. With the six second incremental billing, many calls are one cent, and many more are four cents! That's surely a good deal -- the only problem is the $10 monthly fee. eli
