Stevensville, MD - CloseCall America, a full-service telecommunications company specializing in low-priced community calling, today announced that it has entered into a new strategic partnership with the District of Columbia Bar. Through this new partnership, the 76,000 members of the D.C. Bar now have access to preferred rates on CloseCall's already low-priced long distance calling plans for their business and residential accounts.

"The fact that the D.C. Bar has chosen CloseCall America as their long distance provider of choice is an affirmation of our high quality service," said Tom Mazerski, President and CEO of CloseCall America.

"The D.C. Bar shares our goal of helping small businesses make smart decisions about the services they use to grow and prosper. The preferred rates we are offering members of the D.C. Bar will save them money on their long distance bills."


"The Committee, consistent with its policies, reviewed the proposals that were submitted, and chose CloseCall based on the Committee's decision that CloseCall's proposal offered the best benefits to the Bar's members," said Lois Hochhauser, Chair of the DC Bar Membership Committee.

Members of the D.C. Bar are eligible for ten percent discounts on CloseCall's already low-priced Community Link or USA Link long distance plans. In addition to long distance service, CloseCall offers Internet service, personal and business toll free numbers and travel cards on a convenient all-in-one bill. Digital wireless service and local telephone service are also available in some states in the Mid-Atlantic region.
