INTRODUCTION

Selecting a new long distance provider for many is a very personal decision, as our telephones have become our lifelines to friends, family, doctors and even the pizza delivery guy.

Many long distance companies DO NOT want you to know the facts as the more educated you are, the less likely you are to select them as your provider.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
-Alexander Graham Bell

The purpose of this book is to arm you with the facts you need to know in plain English to make an educated decision before selecting a long distance provider!

As a young boy, I was shopping in a store with my Grandmother one day. The lady in front of us at the register was in the middle of a dispute over the price of a particular item. She claimed it was priced inaccurately according to the shelf price. The amount in dispute was five cents in which the lady was accurate in, thus receiving the lower price. When we got outside, the lady who was involved in the dispute was just exiting the parking lot in a brand new Cadillac. I turned to my Grandmother and said, "Here is lady who is apparently wealthy arguing over a few cents." This is when my wise Grandmother turned to me and stated, "How do you think she became wealthy? She saved her money!"

With so many long distance providers struggling to keep afloat these days not only is important to save money on your long distance bills, but to choose a reputable company. If not, you will be on-line searching for another provider in the near future.

And we all know… time is money!
