: 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.

LCI and MCI are two that I know who do the 6 sec increment billing.
