Earth Tel has teamed up with TMC to offer the best rates, accurate and timely billing, and the best customer service.

• TMC 6.9¢ BEATS AT&T 5¢
• TMC 6.9¢ BEATS MCI 5¢
• TMC 6.9¢ BEATS Sprint 1000 minutes
• Great International Rates

That's right, TMC with its 6.9¢ per minute interstate rate easily beats all three! How can this be possible? It's simple. The big three have those hidden charges.

AT&T charges a $6.95 monthly fee. MCI charges a $5.95 monthly fee. All three use the unfair whole minute rounding. MCI charges extra for prime-time calling.

Sprint's 1000 minutes exclude instate calling.

Here are the comparisons for the programs:

These calculations assume that 80% of the customer's out of state calls are in the discount period, and half of the calls are instate and half out of state.

Other Important Differences

On AT&T, Sprint, and MCI:
1. The discount program is not available for businesses.
2. Toll-free numbers have much higher rates.
3. International calls have extra monthly fees and higher international rates.
4. Calling card rates are generally much higher (up to 69¢ per minute), plus surcharges (up to 99¢ per call in addition to any payphone surcharge), plus monthly fees.

1. Same rate for businesses and homes.
2. Toll-free numbers have the same rates as direct dial.
3. International calls have great rates and NO monthly fee .
