I have regular old residential Sprint Plus with a monthly call volume of about $100 and my interstate evening rate is $0.112 per minute for coast-to-coast calls, less for shorter distances. Perhaps CMU is marking up Sprint's rates a teensy bit. I'd expect VPN rates to be less than regular MTS, otherwise the VPN is pointless.
