Here in the USA one can choose a long distance provider for the
telephone landline. I don't think that cell phone subscriptions allow
the same option...
So what are my (cheap!) options for placing long distance/international
calls with a cell phone? Prepaid calling cards? What else?

Unless I am mistaken, your cell phone provider will provide you with that
service in your calling plan. Does yours not do this?

Yes you are right. Sorry I was not clear enough in my previous post...
I am looking for a cheaper alternative to the
long-distance/international plan offered by my cell phone plan.

You are not making any sense. Are you saying your cell phone provider charges
EXTRA for long distance calls? Who is your cell phone provider?

If you have wifi/internet access, you can use a Google Voice account
with the Hangouts Dialer app.

With an AT&T Prepaid plan, these are the rates for international
calling:

As a matter of example, calling Italy costs $.49

Take Dennis advice and use a Google Voice account Dialer app. Or just
e-mail them or let THEM call YOU.

You keep confusing things by saying long distance /intl. They are two different things. Long distance with any cell phone service I've ever had is no different than calling a local number, it's just counted as airtime minutes. Cell phone carriers have intl calling options and plans. It's likely cheaper to use a calling card.
