Affordable Voice Communications Inc.
High quality long distance service at the lowest possible rates.
What are True Rates?
AVCInc was founded by three guys who've been working around the
telephone business for many years. We grew tired of all the hype,
deception, gimmicks, tricks, and, of course, high rates. So we created the
True Rates plan for people who want the lowest cost, highest quality
service without wasting time and money trying to keep up with all the fine
print.
- Virtually all calling "plans" are nothing but schemes to trick people
into paying more than they should. So we created a single, simple plan
that applies to everyone all the time. Period. We don't charge you 5 cpm
while you're asleep and 25 cpm when you're awake. We don't charge higher
rates to pay for signing bonuses, silly prizes, or other premiums. And
with just one plan, as our rates drop, so do yours - other providers
create new plans so they can keep existing customers at higher rates. We
refer to all these ploys as scamming, since you wind up
paying more than you should. At AVCInc, we focus on lowering our rates
instead.
- It used to be that you could take for granted that the local phone
company would charge you correctly. But nowadays, with all the changing
services, taxes, fees, and surcharges, it's hard to spot a problem. That's
why some unscrupulous companies try to sneak inconspicuous line items into
your local phone bill. The industry calls this cramming,
and once again the local phone companies are only too happy to enable it,
since they get a cut of each of the charges added to a bill. At AVCInc, we
bill you directly, and only for our services. Furthermore, we include all
the information you'll need in each bill to determine exactly how it was
calculated, along with the contact information you need to verify the
charges.
- The long distance telephone industry is based on "theft". When a
carrier wants you as a customer, they "steal" your account from your
current carrier. The local phone companies are only too happy to make the
switch at their request since they pocket a tidy profit each time it
happens. Of course, carriers are supposed to get your OK before they make
the switch, but sometimes they don't. The industry calls this
slamming, and the FCC has cracked down on carriers guilty
of unauthorized switches. Many of the carriers have done it, including the
big three. But at AVCInc, it's your call. We will not steal your business.
We hope you will switch to us for our straight-talk, low rates, and high
value.
There's more to True Rates than no slamming, cramming, and scamming.
It's the bottom-line effective rates that you end up paying that
really counts. Simply compare the advertised rate per minute with the
effective rate. And remember, the higher the rate, the more taxes you pay.
You'll be surprised what you can save as an AVCInc customer.
Sincerely,
Charlie, Russ, and Dave
