- Greetings from Springfield, Illinois!
-
- I just wanted everyone to hear about the new Long-Distance Telephone Company
- that was recently started.
-
- It's called _CommunitySpirit_ and was set up by _Overlooked Opinions_, a
- Chicago based LBGO* opinion polling group. With this new service, you can
- set up to donate 2% of your long-distance charges to National or Local
- Organizations. Which means, that possibly upwards of $21 million can be
- raised for National, Regional, or Local organizations.
-
- _Low Rates_
- Savings up to 25% off of AT&T, MCI or Sprint long-distance charges. And
- the lowest rates begin at 5pm, not 11pm like the others. There are no
- restrictions and the rates apply for every call made.
-
- _One Phone Bill_
- All charges are itemized on your local phone bill.
-
- _Free Calling Card_
- A free, personalized calling card is issued for convenience away from
- home.
-
- _Quality Assurance_
- The service uses Sprint's 100% Digital Fiber-Optic Network and Customer
- Service Representatives are available 24-hours a day, toll-free.
-
- _No Cost To Join_
- The switch over fee is paid by _CommunitySpirit_ by voucher after
- switching.
-
- _Business Savings_
- The _CommunitySpirit_ commercial plan is a great way to reduce business
- expenses.
