Good Inexpensive Long Distance Telephone Service

Since 2006 I’ve been using one of those “little” long distance phone companies that you’ve never heard of. I’m very happy with it and can recommend them to you.

They charge 2.5 cents per minute day or night. I haven’t noticed a single problem with them… No dropped called, no fast-busy signals, no poor line quality, no hidden fees, no membership charges. They are just great.

My long distance telephone bill went from $15-20 per month to $4-7 per month.

You should sign up for this long distance telephone service.

I’d appreciate it if, when you try them, you tell them I sent you. I get something like 5% of whatever your phone bill is. Here is how to sign up:

  1. Go to DialECG.com
  2. Click on “Order Now” under “ECG Long Distance”
  3. Enter your info. Please enter my phone number as a referral. It’s 415 – eight two one – 3321.

Their in-state toll rate depends on what state you live in. Look on their website for your state. Some states are inexpensive ( California is 3.9 cents/min) and some are more expensive (Idaho is 14.2 cents/min). I don’t know what competing rates are like in your area so look out for it.

LEONARDO

In collaboration with Burning Man and Leonardo Journal, swissnex San Francisco presents an evening symposium entitled “Fire Arts and Burning Desires” with presentations by several Burning Man fire artists who will discuss the use of their work with fire as a creative medium.

From a pyrrhic highlight to a transcendent interaction, when is fire an appropriate part of a sculptural statement? How to use fire in a safe way for both the artist and the audience? Get a peek behind the scenes of the creation of previous Burning Man fire art spectacles.

Fire Arts & Burning Desires is hosted by swissnex San Francisco and presented by Burning Man and Leonardo Journal, who recently collaborated in publishing an exclusive collection of essays and photographs on the Fire Arts of Burning Man (LJ Volume 40 issue # 4).

Speakers attending the symposium will include Crimson Rose (The Fire Goddess), The Flaming Lotus Girls, (TBA), Bill Codding (The Burninator), Wally Glen (The Zen Fire Garden), Lucy Hoskins (Satin’s Calliope) and DaveX who will discuss the safety parameters of working with fire in an artistic way.
