Our
Christian long distance phone offer includes an inbound toll-free number,
if you want one. A toll free number can be a real money-saver for
a residential or
business customer. Just so you understand, a toll free number means
you pay for the call when someone calls you. You can have a toll free
number installed on your residential or business line which rings in
right on your main phone line. There is no need to have a second phone
line installed. There is a $1.00 to $2.95 monthly fee for having a
toll-free number. There are no other installation costs, no up front
charges, and no hidden charges of any kind.
A toll free number can be helpful if you have kids away at college
who call home collect or from a payphone. If you have a husband or
wife that travels across the country occasionally, they can now call
home on your personal toll free number for the low rate of just 4.9
cents a minute. It sure beats the $4.00 a minute rate that many hotels
charge these days! You may have elderly parents or grandkids that would
love to talk to you more often, but just can't afford it. Many people
use pre-paid calling cards with fairly low rates, but remember, these
cards are billed in full one-minute increments or worse, not the six-second
billing increments that we offer, another big advantage.
For all calls that originate out of your state, your toll-free number
is billed at the same price as your outbound long distance, with no
minimums, no monthly charges and not hidden charges. Your rate on toll
free calls which originate in your own state varies depending on the
in-state rate that we offer.
You also may want to consider protecting your toll free number with
a PIN number which must be punched in before the call can go through.
This prevents telemarketers, or auto dialers, or anyone who gets access
to your toll free number from completing the call unless they have
your personal PIN number. That way you can give out the toll free number
only to the people you choose. (PNG Only)
Be aware that the Federal government has applied a surcharge to any
call originating from a payphone. This money is passed along to the
payphone operator as a way to reimburse him for the use of his payphone.
This charge also applies when using a calling card. So, if you're going
to call home, make sure you use a friend's phone or the hotel phone
instead of the payphone when you can.
If you have an existing toll free number that you would like to switch
over, we can handle that for you as well and offer you our the same
low rates. You simply need to complete a simple form to request the
transfer.
