Would you shop at a grocery store that charges you $4.95 just for the 'privilege' of being their customer?
If you thought, 'Of course not!" then why would you pay a monthly fee to your long distance company for the privilege of being their customer? GLOBALnet TeleManagement is opposed to the principle of a monthly fee, and we think you should be, too. But, just in case you're not convinced, here's another reason to steer clear of them:
The monthly fee is really a hidden rate increase! If your current bill shows 48 minutes of calls, and you know that your rate is 10¢/minute, your invoice should be $4.80. Add in a monthly service charge of $4.95 and your total becomes $9.75. Now divide $9.75 (your real total) by the number of long distance minutes used (48) and you come up with a startling fact: you're paying 20.3¢ per minute!
Using the example above, even if you are on the phone three hours a month (180 minutes), you're still paying too much with a monthly fee. Here's why: 180 minutes @ 10¢/minute = $18.00 plus $4.95 service charge = $22.95. $22.95 divided by 180 actual minutes used = 12.75¢ per minute!
