Continuous Phone Fundraiser
Support FGC with a New Long Distance Phone Service at 2.5 cents per minute
This is an opportunity to both contribute money each month to Friends General Conference at no cost to you and to save a significant amount each month yourself.
Here's how it works:
By switching your long distance and/or your local toll calls (intralata) service to Enhanced Communications Group (ECG), ECG will contribute 10% of your phone bill to FGC automatically each month. Savings to you should range from 20-50% of your current phone bill because of the excellent wholesale rates that are being offered. To sign up online, simply click on the "Sign Me Up" link at the bottom of this page.
Residential and Business Rates are:
- state to state (interstate) - 2.5 cents per minute (all the time).
- international rates vary by country (e.g., England at 5 cents/minute)
- rates for in-state calling vary by state.
- a $0.59 per month regulatory recovery fee applies to each taxable account.
- you must sign up for autopay (automatic payment by check draft or credit card) and for receipt of invoice notice via email.
- There is 3.5 cents per minute plan for those who choose to pay their bill by check and receive a paper bill.
To determine your rates, simply click on Sign Me Up. The rate for Intralata (local toll calls) is the same as the in-state (Intrastate) rate for your state.
Please type FGC's phone number as the referral number: (215) 561-1700.
