From newsletter@abtolls.com Thu May 16 21:42:30 2002 From: newsletter@abtolls.com (newsletter@abtolls.com) Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 16:42:30 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [ABTolls.com-free-newsletter] Tollchaser/Capsule/Total Call/Unitel/TTI/International Coverage Message-ID: ------------ May 16, 2002 ------------ Hello everyone. We apologize for the long silence on our end. We have been working extremely hard on our new customized pricing tool called Tollchaser, which is now available! We are excited to introduce this tool to all of you. We have been testing this tool for close to 2 years now, and finally have something we think you will like! You can enter your calling patterns and get customized quotes for all of the plans in our database. While the Tollchaser tool may appear similar to some other pricing tools on the net, it is quite different. We take into account all of the carrier specific fees using a proprietary method developed based upon sophisticated call pattern models. The tool takes into account things such as 6 second billing vs. 1 minute billing, block calling plans, minimum usage requirements, call distributions, intrastate/interstate blend, and many other factors. You can try it out at: http://tollchaser.com/compare/ We appreciate your feedback on it! We have also made many additions to our extensive rates database. Here are the update highlights: --------------------------- In this newsletter --------------------------- 1) New coverage: Capsule Covista 3KissLD 2) New coverage: Total Call Connect for Less 3) New coverage: Total Call International 3.9 4) New coverage: Unitel 3.9 5) New coverage: TTI 4.25 6) More detailed international coverage 7) Newsletter archives +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Special Shanghai China all-inclusive vacation special 8 days - $814 includes airfare, hotels, transfers, breakfast, sightseeing and many other perks. Book quickly! Visit http://flyaow.com/shanghai.htm +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) New coverage: Capsule Covista 3KissLD ------------------------------------------------------------------ Capsule has introduced the lowest direct dial interstate rate we have heard of at a base rate of 3 cents a minute for state to state calls within the Continental U.S. The plan does have a monthly fee of $3 though - so it only would make sense for very high volume interstate callers. Be sure to check the intrastate rate for your state, as some states are rather high - but some are not. The plan features 6 second billing increments, with a 6 second per call minimum. International rates vary, with some decent prices in certain markets. Full details at: http://abtolls.com/plans/CapsuleCovista3KissLD.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) New coverage: Total Call Connect for Less ------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Call has introduced the Connect for Less plan with no monthly fee or minimum. The plan features a 4.9 interstate base rate in the Continental U.S., with 6 second billing increments and a 6 second per call minimum. Be sure to check the rate for intrastate calls in your state - as it varies quite a bit from state to state. International rates vary, with some decent prices in certain markets. This plan may be well suited for those that want to have the flexibility of no minimum bill per month. Full details at: http://abtolls.com/plans/TotalCallInternationalConnectforLess.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) New coverage: Total Call International 3.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Call has also introduced the America Choice plan for slightly higher volume users. It features a 3.9 interstate base rate in the Continental U.S., with 6 second billing increments and a 6 second per call minimum. If you make fewer than $20 of calls in a giving month you will be charged a $2.50 low billing surcharge. For months with more than $20 of calls there is no monthly fee. Be sure to check the rate for intrastate calls in your state - as it varies quite a bit from state to state. The plan has some of the best intrastate rates in certain markets such as 2.1 cents a minute within Illinois and 2.6 cents a minute within Michigan. International rates also vary, with some extremely low rates in certain markets. This plan is only available for residential consumers. Full details at: http://abtolls.com/plans/TotalCallInternationalAmericaChoice.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) New coverage: Unitel 3.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unitel has announced a new 3.9 interstate base rate in the Continental U.S. The plan features 6 second billing increments with an 18 second minimum per call. In months with less than $15 worth of calls a low usage surcharge of $2 is added to your bill. In months with more than $15 of calls there is no monthly fee. Intrastate rates are quite good in certain states - but be sure to check for your state. Unitel service is only available to local customers of Bell South, SBC, Qwest, and former Bell Atlantic areas of Verizon. Full details available at: http://abtolls.com/plans/Unitel3.9.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) New coverage: TTI 4.25 ------------------------------------------------------------------ We have initiated coverage of TTI National's 4.25 plan. This is a plan designed for high volume users, as it has a monthly minimum of $25. In months with less than $25 of usage your bill will be rounded up to $25. The plan features an interstate base rate of 4.25 cents a minute, with 6 second billing increments and an 18 second minimum call length. The plan has some extremely competitive intrastate rates in certain markets such as 3.62 within California, 5.76 within Texas, 3.70 within Connecticut, and 6.00 within Washington. Full details available at: http://abtolls.com/plans/TTINational4.25.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) More detailed international coverage ------------------------------------------------------------------ We have drastically improved our international rates coverage for all of the globe. We have extremely detailed rate information for direct dial calls from the U.S. to 292 different countries and regions - by far the most comprehensive international rates coverage available on the web.

Just wanted to warn all of you who place calls to China - rates across the board have been raised. If you regularly call China, please verify with your long distance provider what the new rate is. The "landing rates" in China have increased, and these costs will be passed on to long distance users in the U.S. who call China. We are on top of things and slowly getting responses from the various providers as to what their new rates will be. We have deleted all old rates from our database and have an updated list of accurate rates that we have confirmed with the carriers at: http://abtolls.com/compare/international/longdistancerates/china.htm We will continue to update that list as the new rates get confirmed with all carriers. Again, please be sure to verify with your carrier if you plan to continue with the same provider. Happy phoning!

We'd like to start off by wishing you all a happy holiday season. We hope the coming year is a great one for you and those you love. We have been busy here at ABTolls and have drastically increased the coverage of our database. There are close to 20 new discounted plans available now, making our database the most comprehensive online, so there is a good chance that there is money to be saved for most readers!

Visit http://flyaow.com/businessclassdiscounts.htm +------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Warning: China rates raised ------------------------------------------------------------------ Our last newsletter alert warned of drastically increased rates to China for all long distance providers. China Telecom has raised the connection fees it charges international carriers to connect calls in China, resulting in drastic cost increase for calls from the U.S. to China. We have been working hard to get the new rates from the various discounted resellers into our database. We also have deleted all old China rates, even if the resellers said they did not have any rate increases yet (because they are coming soon for all). Rates are much higher than previously, but there are still better deals to be had among the bunch. We strongly encourage those people that call China to reverify their rates with their provider and keep a close eye for increases over the next several months - there may be some very negative surprises - we have seen some providers raise their rates 600%!!! Yes, 600! Please do keep us informed of anything you learn regarding new rates to China. You can search for new China rates at: http://abtolls.com/compare/international/longdistancerates/china.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) More detailed international coverage ------------------------------------------------------------------ We have once again drastically improved our international rates coverage worldwide. We now offer extremely detailed rate information for direct dial calls from the U.S. to 292 different countries and regions - by far the most comprehensive international rates coverage available on the web. Highlighted per minute rates (including carrier specific surcharges such as USF which other sites do not report when quoting rates) include: Australia 5.77, Belgium 5.50, Canada 4.16, Germany 4.16, Hong Kong 5.12, Israel 8.13, Japan 7.50, Korea 6.59, Philippines 17.00, Russia (Moscow) 7.00, Singapore 4.17, South Africa 14.18, and the United Kingdom 3.09. Keep in mind the rates we list include the carrier specific surcharges such as USF. Many sites advertising low international rates don't include the USF fees, which can add up to 11% to the rate! Also, the rates we list are not pre-paid. The rates are all for services that bill you after the calls are made. If you call internationally, it is time to check for the countries you call at: http://abtolls.com/intrates.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) New plan coverage: ECG, Airespring, 1Plus, TouchTone, TelCan, Accudial, Big Red Wire, Pioneer, GE, IDT, Direct Talk, ZoneLD, PNG, Total Call ------------------------------------------------------------------ We have initiated coverage on numerous new plans. We now list 15 separate plans that have an interstate base rate in the Continental U.S. between 3 and 4 cents per minute. Many of them have no monthly fees or low monthly minimum usage to waive fees. Several of these new plans also offer extremely low pricing in some specialized international or intrastate markets. The long distance market is really being segmented into informed and non-informed consumers. Those consumers that are informed are regularly facing reduced rate structures, while those that remain non-informed are experiencing regular rate increases on their rate plans in the form of new fees, higher monthly minimums, large monthly recurring charges, and increased carrier specific surcharges. Keep yourself informed and be in the half that regularly saves money. You can compare domestic rates based upon your calling profile easily at: http://tollchaser.com/compare/ A full list of plans covered in our database can be found at: http://abtolls.com/prov.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Wireless comparisons ------------------------------------------------------------------ Many of you have requested a site similar to ABTolls to track wireless services. We agree that this is an important next step, but keep in mind that the 3 of us that operate ABTolls do so on a part-time basis. We are looking at ways to expand our coverage to the wireless sector shortly - stay tuned. But for now we are offering links to some very useful wireless shopping services at: http://abtolls.com/cellular.html We'd love to hear your ideas about what makes for a good wireless comparison and what does not as we develop this upcoming feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Now help your company save too ------------------------------------------------------------------ The savings that we offer are not limited to residential consumers. Through our industry coverage we have access to numerous methods to save small, medium, and large businesses on their telecommunications costs. Everything from switched long distance voice services to high speed data lines. If your company spends more than $100 a month or utilizes more than 3000 minutes a month there is a very good chance we can help you save substantially through our customized rate quote. We encourage you to tell the person at your company that is responsible for purchasing telecom services about the free quote service. There is no obligation to receive the free quote, and the savings potential is enormous. Be a hero at work in these days of cost-cutting!
