This must have been covered many times.  But I'm new to this group and
need to know.  Is there some way to find out the LD rates for
different carriers at different times between my home area
code/exchange and the many LD exchanges that I call regularly?  What
about access codes?  What 10XXX codes are available for consumer use?
Does their use affect rates in comparison with using normal Dial-1
long distance?  The level of service I received from AT&T, MCI and
Sprint via mail and phone in answering these questions varied from
worthless to nil.  "Get it in writing" seems only to apply to business
customers.

Many thanks,
