www.callcost.com Helps Consumers Find Best Long Distance Deals

Fairfield, Iowa, June 17, 1996, a free long distance rate analysis on the Internet helps American consumers avoid overpaying millions of dollars yearly for their telephone calls.

The Call Cost Comparison--at www.callcost.com--cuts through the maze of hidden costs, volume requirements and billing increments and leads consumers directly to the best deal for their calls.

"Choosing the cheapest long distance plan can put your head in a spin," said CNN-fn news anchor Jan Hopkins. "Telegroup is helping take the guesswork out of it with a new web site."

The site is sponsored by Telegroup, the number two company in this year's Inc. 500 and a leading competitor in U.S. and international long distance service.

"We tell consumers all the time to shop around," says consumer advocate Keri Gascoyne, of Telechoice, an independent telecommunication consulting agency. "This site allows you to go straight to the source and do some research on your own."

Telegroup is also developing rate comparison services for calling cards and international callback. To find out more about Telegroup or the Call Cost Comparison, consumers can contact Telegroup at www.telegroup.com or 800-338-0225.
