Would you like to make a GUARANTEED savings of 10% (5% for business phones) off of your current long distance phone bill? If you'd like more details on such a guarantee, read on. Affinity -- Long Distance Savings with a Purpose Affinity, unlike the big phone companies, charges for LD usage in 6 second increments (with a minimum of 18 seconds per call). Let me give you a quick math example of exactly what I mean. I'll use Sprint Sense for a basis, because the math is easy. This is Sprint's rating plan where all LD domestic calls out-of-area-code from 7 PM to 7 AM are rated at $0.10 per minute. If you made a 5 minute and 10 second phone call under this plan with Sprint, you would have to pay for 6 whole minutes, meaning that call would cost you $0.60. With Affinity, you would only have to pay for 5 minutes and 12 seconds (5.2 minutes), and at the same pricing, it would only cost you $0.52. Per phone call, it doesn't seem like a whole lot, but depending on the number of long distance calls you make, the 8 cents per call would begin to add up fast to a lot of savings. You're wondering now, what Affinity's rates are, right??? Affinity will _match_ ANY rate plan of one of the 'big three' to include Sprint Sense, Friends and Family, True Savings, etc. You can use the exact same pricing plan with Affinity that you use now, but you'll be paying in 6 second increments instead of whole minutes. Affinity GUARANTEES 10% (5% for business phones) savings. Every bill that you get from Affinity will show you what you would have payed, call by call, on your current plan, and right beside it you'll see what you are paying, call by call, on the same plan with the Affinity 6 second increments. You can literally SEE the savings every time you get a bill. The guarantee says that if your bill using only the 6 second increment system would NOT be 10% (5% for business phones) or more of a discount than the same calls under your old plan, Affinity will give you an ADDITIONAL discount to bring your savings to 10% (5% for business phones). You NEVER pay more than 90% of what you would have payed with your old service. If for some reason you don't see the 10% (5% for business phones) savings on your first bill, Affinity will credit your account for the amount of the bill (you simply don't have to pay it), AND send you a check for an amount equal to that bill (i.e. Double your money back on the first bill). If within the first three months you simply aren't satisfied with Affinity service, Affinity will pay the fee to have your local company switch your LD service back to your old carrier. This is a NO RISK system. Since Affinity leases line access from MCI, you get the same high-quality phone network that you would be using if you were actually PAYING MCI for the access. Here are a few salient points: ( Signing up with Affinity is FREE, and there's no interruption of your telephone service. ( Pay only for the time you actually use. No rounding up to the next whole minute. Initial billing is 18 seconds, then 6 second increments thereafter. ( No usage restrictions. Call Anyone, Anyplace Any time. ( Use your phone as you do now. No sacrifice in quality. ( No Risk. Cancel any time. ( Travel Card & 800 number service available. ( Satisfaction Guaranteed ! Within 90 days, if you are not satisfied, for any reason, you will be switched-back to the carrier of your choice, at no cost. The Sooner you Sign-up, the Sooner you'll start SAVING MONEY! So, does it sound like something you or some other people you know would be willing to look at, for a guaranteed 10% (5% for business phones) savings on your LD bill?? Read on. If in the future, one of the 'big three' comes out with a better plan, and you don't like your old rate plan anymore because you honestly think the new one is better, Affinity will allow you to change over to that new plan, at no charge, but still on Affinity, and still paying in 6 second increments with the 10% (5% for business phones) guarantee. If a phone company sends you a PERSONAL offer for a special rate plan, you can send a photocopy of it to Affinity, and if approved, they'll give you the SAME PLAN, with the 6 second/10% (5% for business phones) deal. Also, the more calls you make, and the shorter they are, the more money you'll save, making this pricing plan IDEAL for computer users whose computers make a lot of short, long distance calls.
