Nett-Tell is not the traditional phone company. They are firm believers that if you want to call your sister in Alaska, cousin in Florida, or old college room-mate in Maine, then you should not be fined for it. Long distance fees are fundamentally unfair and way too costly. At Nett-Tell, they want to help you to stay in touch with those who are furthest from you, this is what telecommunications are for, after all. Nett-Tell wants you to be able to stay in touch and pay a flat rate, rather than continually having to pay extra fees.
