Stevensville, MD - The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) has approved CloseCall America's application
to offer local telephone service to Indiana residents and small businesses. A full-service telecommunications company
specializing in low-priced community calling, CloseCall America has provided long distance service in Indiana since 2001
and expects to begin offering local service on August 14, 2003.
"Indiana consumers will now have a new and better choice for local service," said Tom Mazerski, President and CEO of CloseCall America.CloseCall filed an application with the IURC in April 2003 seeking permission to offer local service in the state. The petition was approved on July 14, 2003. Customers who choose to switch their local service to CloseCall America will be able to keep their same telephone numbers and will see no difference in the quality of service.
"We're confident that when people compare us to other service providers they will find that we are less expensive and provide exceptional customer service. We hope to become a one-stop telecommunications service for both residential and small business customers."
CloseCall services over 140,000 subscriber lines, primarily in eight states - Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
"CloseCall America has a proven track record of success and, despite the industry trend, is experiencing continued growth," Mazerski added.
"We expect to offer additional products and services - such as digital wireless service-to our Midwestern customers in the near future. We remain committed to offering low prices, outstanding customer service, calling plans designed for the way people live and everything on one simple bill."
