Usbi

Long Distance 10-10 calling scam. Search USBI and you will find many, many postings on what this company has been pulling. I searched the net for low rate long distance services and these guys came in the lowest. I called them and got the activation number which was 10-10-555. Turns out USBI does not provide long distance and just lets whatever provider do the call. My phone bill indicated that they used MCI and I was charged roughly $10/minute to Germany and $2/minute to Texas. Lucky for me I only made three very short calls, but my long distance cost was $51. Don't use any no-name providers and don't use any 10-10 prefixes for calls. I consider myself lucky that I got off this cheap. AT&T is no help on this either. They tell you to cancel the service through USBI and those guys can't be reached. I've just dropped AT&T and switched over to Time/Warner land line service. $19.95/mo for unlimited calling in North America and 10 cents/min to Europe. Bottom line: DO NOT USE 10-10 low rate phone prefixes...
