SAVINGS SCORE
The Savings Score was created to give an unbiased ranking to each company's long distance plan. Every company starts with 105 points and then points are deducted for the following: Interstate Rate (Multiply the State to State rate by 2 and subtract that many points) Billing Increment/Minimum Call (6/6 + 1 pts, 6/18 -1, 6/30-2, 6/60-3, 30/60-5, 60/60-5) Minimum Charge (Subtract 2 points if there is a minimum charge) Other Fees (Subtract 1 point for any other fees) Monthly Fee (Subtract the monthly fee in points if there is one) Average Customer Service Wait Time (If this is 2 or more minutes, we subtract 2 point and Carriers below #11 are not graded on customer service.)
