Unlike those other long distance offerings, our program is simple, has no gimmicks, we do not call you at home, and we do put our plan in writing.

This long distance service offers many benefits, including:

• Low rates of 4.9 cents per minute for all calls made within the State of Illinois, and 6.9 cents for calls made to other states (within the continental U.S.)

• There are NO extra costs, NO monthly service charges,  NO enrollment fees and NO codes to dial.

• There is NO cost differential for daytime calls, nighttime calls, weekend calls, or holidays calls.

• Our billing is on 6 second increments as compared to many others, who bill on one minute increments.

• You can have a personal 800 number for NO additional charge and with the same low rates.  This makes it real easy for kids who are away from home to call and check up on mom and dad.

• We are now offering sixty minutes of long distance service for all new or returning customers.  These minutes will be applied to your 3rd month of service.

• In addition, we are now offering a new referral program for our existing long distance customers.   Simply use the referral coupons enclosed with your bill to sign up three of your friends or neighbors, and when they become customers, your out of state long distance rate will drop from 6.9 to 5.9 cents.  In addition, you will receive a credit on your monthly phone bill based on a percentage of their long distance usage.

The core purpose of Southeastern Electric Cooperative is to provide valued services and products for the benefit of our membership and communities.  We believe our long distance phone service is consistent with that purpose.  If you have any question about this program, please call Greg Cruse at 1-800-833-2611, Extension 163.
