Who has the 6 second long distance billing?  Not ATT or MCI or GTE or any
of

the big boys but RESELLERS.  Resellers buy hundred millions of

minutes from the big boys and resell then at a fraction of the cost of

ATTor MCI.  They buy wholesale,and because they have no switches or

operators to pay (the resellers use ATT/MCI switches and operators) they

have lower costs than the major phone companies. Resellers have to pay in
advance 

for the muniute they buy, so whether theyt sell them or not. Therefore they
have an

 incentive to offer lower rates. For example:


 *6 second increments versus 1 miniute billing increments with

ATT/MCI for both business and home use

*no $5 month service charge

*rates as low as 10cents a minute nights and weekends, 20 cents peak, and
15 cents a minute evenings for residential phones(15 cents a minute
average)

*15 cents a minute all the time for business

* no dialing codes

*keep your same phone number

*you keep ATT or MCI as your phone company if you already are a customer

*cost free switch if you are not an ATTor MCI customer

*keep your same 800 numbers and faxes

*calling card available

* security codes available

*low overseas rates
While I cannot advertise the name of the reller I use that offers the above
rates, I can email you more information if you are interested.
Specify if you want residential or business forms and information.
