• 6.4¢ per minute with a one-year term.
• 7.1¢ per minute with e-billing and no term.
• 7.8¢ per minute with standard billing and no term.

We also offer low-rate, dial-up Internet service, and those rates will not change. When you combine our Internet service, long distance service and e-billing you’ll receive a rate of $12.95 per month for unlimited dial-up Internet access.

Will my local phone service provider change?
No. You will remain with your local exchange carrier (LEC) for your local service.

How are we able to offer such great rates?
We have partnered with TransWorld Network, (TWN) a reseller of long distance phone service. By bringing together electric cooperative members across the US, TransWorld Network can purchase long distance minutes at very attractive rates and pass along the savings to members. We chose them as a partner based on the savings, service and reliability they can offer our members.

How will I receive my bill?
You will receive a long distance bill from TransWorld Network, separate from your local phone bill.

I have a second home downstate, can I enroll?
Yes, this program is available to anyone in the state. You don’t have to be a Great Lakes Energy member!
