Stevensville, MD - CloseCall America, a full service telecommunications company specializing in low-priced community calling, is challenging the status quo in Internet service by offering consumers lower prices without the pop-up ads that many Internet providers force on their customers.

CloseCall America has established a unique niche in the telecommunications industry by offering low prices for community calling (local toll calls), something no one else is doing. This innovative approach to pricing has proven very successful and the company is growing rapidly, despite the competition within the industry and the economic downturn. CloseCall reached a major milestone in 2001 with the connection of its 100,000th line and expects to double this result in 2002.

"From the beginning we have not been afraid to take on the telecommunications industry giants and fight for consumers," said Tom Mazerski, President and CEO of CloseCall America.

"We were constantly told it couldn't be done. And we are now challenging the Internet giants who charge customers higher and higher rates and then force them to look at pop-up ads every time they want to read their email."


"If the Post Office began placing advertisement stickers on our mail, the public would be outraged, and rightly so," said Mary Guerra, marketing and customer sales advisor for CloseCall America.

"It shouldn't be any different with Internet service. Consumers' private communications should not be cluttered with ads. You'd think it would be illegal."

Consumers can log onto the company's website and download Internet software for CloseCall America Online directly onto their computers, making the process fast, efficient and cost effective. In addition, CloseCall's current customers can receive CDs in the mail that will allow them to easily access the internet by calling 1-877-81CLOSE (25673).

As with all of CloseCall America's telecommunications services, the company's Internet service is more than 30% cheaper than the Internet giants, with a "Best Rate Guarantee". And, as always, this service is backed up by dedicated customer service representatives who are available to assist customers and answer questions. Another advantage of signing up for CloseCall America Online is that the service is simply added to the existing bill so that everything is billed on one statement making payment and bookkeeping more efficient and simple.
