Wrong. Its 2.9 c/m

Intrastate 8c/min


This varies from state to state. 8.5 c/m in GA.


Thanks for the input, Rich. GTC is showing a 3.9c rate for state-to-state
residential long distance at the following Web pages:
http://www.gtctelecom.com/
http://www.gtctelecom.com/offer/strF...ntialplan.asp#

I could not find a 2.9c state-to-state residential rate anywhere on their
site. Could you please tell me where you see it? Thanks.


Just checked my latest bill and thats what I am paying.
Its quite possible they no longer offer it, but its grandfathered. I
had been paying (ISTR) 5 c/m when I went to thier web site looking for
something else and saw the 2.9 offer. Called c/s and they gave me that
rate.

Got a telemarketing call from them a few weeks ago offering to give me
the 2.9 rate and the droid was surprised to see that I already had that
rate and then tried to sell me local service which I declined.

Thanks for letting us know about GTC's $1/month USF fee for months in which
there are LD calls. It's disappointing that the GTC sales rep did not
mention that. Unfortunately for GTC, that is another strike against them,
though I don't mean to pick on a little company like GTC--I'd rather pick on
big boys like Sprint, MCI and AT&T who charge higher rates. :-)


Since I usually have little LD, this annoyed me considerably. Doubles
my bill some months. I am considering dropping them and getting a card
from Sams Club.
