Are long distances calls burning a hole in your wallet?  Are you sick of waiting until off-peak hours to call your family and friends?  If you are, check out this opportunity to receive a flat rate of 10 cents a minute anywhere in the continental United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! We�ll even send you a check for $10 just for trying our service, and if you are unsatisfied, switch back to your original carrier within 90 days for FREE! No scams, no hidden agendas, no fine print! NO PURCHASE REQUIRED.  Take a few minutes to read this article, and learn how to obtain this high quality service.

Excel Communications Inc. is a national corporation which provides this service to millions of Americans.  For their customers there are no changes in the way they place a call.  When Excel customers pick up the phone, they dial 1 plus the area code and the number, just like they always have before.  Their calls are automatically routed over the networks of major national and international carriers and go straight to the person called just like they always have before.  In fact, when customers switch over to Excel, the local carrier company stays the same, only the long distance carrier is switched over to Excel.  In other words, only your long distance rates change, but NOT your local rates.

What do we offer our customers?

No minimum usage requirements
Low $1 per month service charge
Free Excel calling cards (limit 2)
One Free 800 number setup (no setup charge, only $3.50/month maintenance fee)
Major National and International carriers giving access to digital fiber optic networks
Discounted International Service
Customer Incentive package including discounts on hundreds of hotels, restaurants, and other travel services
And much more. . .

Maybe you are asking yourself, how can Excel offer so much?  Why doesn�t AT&T offer the same low rates, the same free incentives?  The fact is that Excel does not advertise through mainstream media such as TV commercials with promotional appearances by celebrities, radio or newspaper ads.  This cuts down on Excel�s costs tremendously and thus Excel can offer lower rates.

And so if you want to get in on this great opportunity and receive your $10 cash, just follow the simple instructions below:

Email us at  tencentsaminute@qualityservice.com with your name, full address, social security number (used only for verification purposes), and the telephone number(s) you want switched over.
