Questions and answers

How can the cooperative afford to do this?

Simple -- because we're a cooperative. As a member-owner, you know that Middle Tennessee Electric does not operate for profit. Through our partnership with PowerNet Global, only the basic costs need to be covered, allowing us -- even at this low rate -- to set aside 10 percent for special community needs.

What is MTEMC Customers Care?

It is a foundation formed by the MTEMC Board of Directors and run by an appointed committee of MTEMC members from Cannon, Rutherford, Williamson and Wilson counties. This group will decide the best way to use funds generated through the long distance program to help people and organizations in our communities.

How about in-state long distance and calling card rates?

In-state calls are just 5.9 cents a minute all day, every day; and the calling card rate is just 10.9 cents per minute.

Is there a monthly fee?

While Power Net Global charges a Network Access Charge of a few pennies per month, it does not charge the type of monthly fees often associated with long distance plans, which typically run about $5 per month.

Who will bill me for this service?

Once you sign up, you will receive a separate bill for your long distance. The bill will come from PowerNet Global, which is the long distance carrier. When you sign up, you can choose the method by which you wish to pay, including credit card draft.

What is Middle Tennessee Electric's role?

This is a service through MTEMC, not of MTEMC. Your cooperative has made this arrangement to help our communities and to provide you with the lowest long distance rates around.
