What exactly is Pro Life Communications?

A: We are a telecommunications company that was formed for the sole purpose of funding pro-life activities. We believe in order to make a significant difference in the pro-life movement in the United States this cause must have more funds at its disposal. There are numerous pro-life organizations doing great work but each one is in desperate need of additional funding in order to increase their impact on their community.

Why did you choose the telecommunications industry?

A: There are several reasons: 1) The telecommunications industry is a very stable and lucrative industry. We found that we could keep our operating costs low thereby increasing the amount we could donate. 2) Every business and virtually every household use long distance on a monthly basis, like any other utility. This allows everyone to support life without spending any more than they do now. 3) Most of us have grown tired of the constant harassment by the major telecommunications companies to gain our business. We welcome the chance to change our long distance provider one last time and have a legitimate reason to never change again.

What is the difference between Pro Life Communications and Sienna Communications?

Interestingly enough, this has become the most often asked question of our customers. Please understand that we hold nothing against Sienna Communications. While we have similarities, there are still vast differences between Sienna Communications and Pro Life Communications. First of all, Sienna Communications is a "for-profit" company and Pro Life Communications is set up as a "non-for-profit" company. According to their web site, for a customer signed up for long-distance at 5.9 cents per minute, Sienna will donate one half of one percent of the billed usage to the designated organization. This same customer would donate 20-30% of the billed usage through Pro Life Communications. In this case, Pro Life Communications would donate at least 40 times the amount that Sienna Communications would. In short, Pro Life Communications is run more like a ministry rather than a business.

How much money does Pro Life Communications actually donate to pro-life causes?

A: Specifically 100% of our net profits.

Why did the founders of Pro Life Communications decide to form a company that would donate 100% of its net profits to pro-life causes?

A: In June of 1998, co-founder Joseph Dalton received a calling to start Pro Life Communications. At this time, he received a significant amount of detailed information of how the ministry should be formed. The most prominent detail was that all of the company's profits would be donated. For months the Dalton's struggled with their calling, asking questions like "how could we obtain start up financing for a company that donates all of their profits?" About this time, an old friend of Jane Dalton, whom she hadn't talked to in years, came to her with a message she had received while at church. The message was "Somewhere between your vision and impossibility, I will provide the way. Go……… Travel on." With this conformation, the Dalton's left their successful careers behind and started Pro Life Communications. Since it's founding in August of 1998, Pro Life Communications has donated 100% of it's profits to the pro-life cause.

How can I be sure you'll donate 100% of Pro Life Communications' net profits?

A: All donations are distributed in the form of a check from our organization along with our financial statement for the same time period.

What are your rates?

A: Our rates are 5.9 cents a minute any time, anywhere, on all state to state calls! We bill in 6-second increments rather than a full minute.

How can you give better rates than the major long distance companies?

A: The reality is that the others are spending millions of dollars on advertising in order to win customers. Pro Life Communications does not spend millions of dollars in advertising. In fact, we are dedicated to keeping our operating costs as low as possible in order to donate as much as possible. You can be assured that you will no longer be contributing to executives' bank accounts but rather contributing to pro-life causes.

My long distance bill is rather low therefore my contribution would be low. Would it really be worth it to switch to your long distance program?

A: DEFINITELY YES! Throughout the Bible God is known to take a little and turn it into a lot. If each of us does only a little, collectively we will be doing a lot. Your contribution along with 999 other people with the same small contribution will mean approximately a $74,000 donation to pro-life activities.

How long will it take to switch to Pro Life Communications' long distance program from my current carrier?

A: As little as 5-7 days or as long as 2-3 weeks. This depends solely on your local telephone company and how quickly they react.

A: No! Simply dial your calls as you do now. 1 + area code and number.

A: You will receive a separate bill from us via Power Net Global for your long distance calls. We have chosen Power Net Global to handle billing and customer service.
