Long
Distance Phone Service
A
few years ago SouthEastern and five other area electric cooperatives joined
together to form an alliance known as Southern Services, LLC, with the
goal of providing products and services to benefit the communities we serve.
One
of our most successful projects has been the introduction of low-cost long
distance phone service which over 10,000 area homes and businesses now
use.
Providing
valuable service means much more than low price; it means providing our
long distance customers with a level of service that always meets or exceeds
their expectations. That’s why SouthEastern and the other electric cooperatives
of Southern Illinois have entered into a new partnership for long distance
and other services with TransWorld Network.
TransWorld
is a service oriented organization that partners with over 100 electric
cooperatives across the country to provide long distance, toll-free and
calling cards at a substantially lower rate than Southern Services has
offered in the past. In addition, they offer several billing and payment
options, including automatic bank withdrawal and credit card billing. A
summary of our new per minute rates compared to our old is as follows:
NEW OLD
In
State Calls: 4.5¢
4.9¢
Between
States: 4.9¢
6.9¢
Calling
Card: 9.5¢
13.9¢
In
addition, we still offer a toll free number without any additional monthly
charge. Also electric cooperative members and other long distance
customers, who prefer to receive an electronic bill instead of a monthly
paper invoice, may select an E-Bill option with credit card payment which
reduces the state-to-state rate to 4.5¢ per minute.
If
you’re tired of paying too much for long distance service, just give us
a call at1-877-246-5121 and a customer service representative will assist
you in switching to Southern Services’ new TWN long distance program. |
