Why do you charge such a high amount for long distance?

[Tootalljay]

I spoke to a represenative yesterday as I wanted to be able to call my family in mexico. I have had both At&t(I can not recall price but it was about .25) with a $10.00 a month plan which allows unlimited to cell phones and T-mobile (per minute .49/with plan .29) which charge a substancial amount less to call to the same areas in mexico. The represenative advised that calls to mexico without the long distance plan are $2.99 per minute and with plan $1.99 per minute. I was left speechless as I heard this, this is outrageous!

I would see no reason to charge this much.

Why would you need to charge so much when other carriers charge so much less?

$2.99 and $1.99 a minute is absurd.

Thank you for the information, I am not sure why the person I spoke to gave me incorrect information. She was in the international long distance department and I was clearing I would be calling from USA to Mexico. She even metioned she calls Dominican Republic and is also charged a high rate. I will give them a call again today and hopefully I can get this resolved..

I think part of the problem is that Sprint sends their customer service to a variety of 3rd parties leading to a lot of mis information.
