    Domestic long distance rates are 5¢ per minute, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE within the United States. Calls placed outside the state of Virginia (interstate) will incur an additional Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) fee which will be incorporated in the total charge of each call. This fee, imposed by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) changes quarterly. Historically the FUSF fee has been as low as 20% and as high as 35%.

    The FUSF fee is a result of the FCC action, whereas all interexchange carriers are required to contribute to a common national fund that supports telecommunications subsidies for consumers who reside in high-cost service areas as well as communication and information services to schools, libraries and rural healthcare facilities.
