Long Distance Phone Service
Working Assets, a socially responsible business, helps you change the world, by giving you the best of both worlds: great phone service at competitive low rates, easy-to-use calling cards (made from recycled plastics) and a strong commitment to the social causes you care about.
With Working Assets, you get average state-to-state base rates that are just below those of AT&T, MCI and Sprint. Then, if you spend $25 or more a month, they give you volume discounts on state-to-state calls that are as big or bigger than the leading calling plans of the major carriers. See for yourself how they stack up!
Big Volume Discounts. Spend just $25 or more a month on long distance calls, and Working Assets will give you volume discounts on state-to-state calls that are as big or bigger than the leading calling plans of AT&T, MCI and Sprint.
Working Assets Funding Service was established in 1985 to give people easy and effective ways to change the world through everyday activities -- like talking on the phone or dining out. Whenever you use Working Assets Long Distance or the Working Assets Visa card, they contribute money to nonprofit groups working to build a better world -- at no extra cost to you. Of course, their members -- folks like you who use their services -- help decide where the money goes.
How the Donations Work. Whenever you make a long distance telephone call on Working Assets Long Distance, they put 1% of that charge in their donations pool. Everytime you use the Working Assets credit card, they put 10 cents into the pool. So the more you talk, the more you use the credit card, the more they give. Its that simple.
And the beauty of it is that their rates are highly competitive.
Their customers help them select which groups get funded. Groups have to be nominated by a customer to be considered for funding. Their staff and the Tides Foundation screen the groups to ensure they meet their funding criteria. The Working Assets Board of Directors selects that year's funding recipients. Their customers then vote to determine which groups get how much of the donations pool.
They do much more than offer competive products that support progressive nonprofits. They also give their customers easy ways to speak out on issues they care about, with their Citizen Action program. Each month, they highlight two important issues in their telephone bills.
And, every month Working Assets customers get to make FREE phone calls to the decisionmakers named in their bill, directly helping make the world a better place.
