UW long distance rates have long been higher than industry rates. However, according to a memo from IST:
“Effective June 1, charges for long distance calls made from campus will be 2 cents per minute for all calls within North America.”
International calls will be billed according to certain rates. Unfortunately for Engineering the United Arab Emirates calls are billed at 95 cents per minute.
Hopefully these new rates will reduce the administrative effort dealing with personal calls, which would often add up quickly under the old rates.

These prices greatly reduce the need for people to use Internet based phone technologies like google voice or skype.
