Stevensville, MD - Move over, Verizon and Vonage! CloseCall America, one of Maryland’s leading providers of local, long distance, wireless and Internet service to consumers primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, is gaining ground among consumers looking for top quality phone service without the excessive costs that come with the big name phone companies. At the same time, CloseCall customers are enjoying the nearly forgotten luxury of reaching a live customer service representative instead of having to navigate a maze of voicemail prompts for sales and services.
“CloseCall is always looking for ways to reduce our costs and pass them on to our customers,” said Jaime Van Allen, Vice President of CloseCall America’s Wireline Division. “Our customers that have come to CloseCall from the larger companies find that we’re head and shoulders over the big providers like Verizon, offering lower prices for the exact same services, quality products including VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and the latest in BlackBerry technology, and easy and quick connections with customer service personnel.”
Low Monthly Rates
CloseCall currently offers its customers a monthly rate of $17.99 plus tax for unlimited local and long distance service, a price below that offered by its competitors. Overseas calls offer appreciable cost savings; for example, calls to France are only 2¢ to 3¢ per minute, as opposed to as much as 10¢ per minute with some of the big carriers. CloseCall customers receive a whole host of special features including Caller ID, *69, and other services at no additional cost. Ms. Van Allen reports that their pricing program has been a rousing success among its customers, both new ones and longtime subscribers.
Green Bill Paying
CloseCall further cuts costs by encouraging its customers to “go green” when paying their bills. With the growing awareness of the depletion of natural resources including forests, CloseCall is a leader in offering customers the option of retrieving their invoices and paying bills online or by phone. No paper invoices are generated, and customers do not write paper checks. At the same time, the Company avoids the expense of printing, mailing, and processing mailed payments, savings it passes on to its customers. Customers also enjoy the safety and speed of electronic bill paying, with minimal chance of payments getting lost in transit, while being immediately posted to accounts.
