BellSouth Long Distance reduces international rates
Bell South announced lower long distance rates today for 3 new plans. With one of the plans offering prices, for example, of 5 cents per minute to Canada, and 9 cents per minute to Mexico, I am not exactly worried about losing business myself. We can beat those rates by a long-shot.

ATLANTA - March 7, 2005 - BellSouth (NYSE: BLS) today introduced new international long distance calling plans offering customers lower rates along with new conveniences. The plans are designed for all callers making international calls, whether it's occasional calling or frequent calling to any of more than 225 countries BellSouth serves.
BellSouth is introducing three new plans, including the BellSouth International Savings plan1 that gives callers making at least $9.95 per month in international calls the company's lowest rates to any country called with no monthly charge. Rates are as low as 9¢ per minute to Mexico and just 5¢ to Canada.
A wide range of customers can benefit from BellSouth's international plans. Customers can choose from plans costing as little as $1 per month and get rates that are on average 75 percent lower than non-plan rates2. For customers that call more, plans like the BellSouth® International Select ValueSM plan3 and the BellSouth International Savings plan provide savings that are even greater.
