Customer Testimonials

Our Daughter Lives in Dallas, and our L/D phone bill averaged $95 dollars a month. We saw the Blessed Hope advertisement in Jerry Falwell's paper, and changed over immediately. Our L/D phone bill was reduced from $95 to $27 a month. We were impressed with the quick and helpful response from Al & Bob and decided to join them as agents. We have learned so much about the L/D business from Al & Bob Ulrich and are grateful for all of their help. We owned & Operated a Graphic Arts business for 35 yrs. with customers across the USA and never had the opportunity that Blessed Hope offers.

Just a note to let you know I found your web site (via search engine) and signed up with PNG yesterday. I must commend you on a most "user friendly" web page. Everything I was wanting to get answered was found within your web site. The web page layout was one of the best I've seen. I was hesitant switching from Frontier (my local phone company), because they offered internet services for $14.95/mo. Needless to say PNG offered the same internet pricing and much lower long distance pricing. I was paying 9 cents every day and 5 cents on Sundays (plus $2.95 monthly fee with 1 minute billing). I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay more money for their phone services. I am optimistic that my new services will match their great pricing.

Thank you for such a fast response!! I mailed the completed form to the OKC, OK address yesterday so it should be there by Friday. I have a confession to make: When I signed on with Blessed Hope Communications as my long distance carrier it seemed to good to be true, so I expected to have some type of "Special Fee" listed on my 1st or 2nd phone bill and then I was going to change back to my former LD carrier! Well, as you know, that didn't happen :^)

I'm now testing the waters on sharing this service with my family and friends, and then I'll make a decision on how I want to pursue this opportunity (If I decide to pursue this at "Full Throttle Ahead" I will be contacting you about a website). When I first spoke with you about the LD service for my home, you were very friendly and didn't seem to have a "Line" that you had memorized to try to sell me on your service; You had me contact Al and one of the things I liked about him was his attitude....he didn't seem to be in a hurry to get me off the phone so he could go to the next person, AND he asked several times if I had any other questions (Which told me he really DID want me to understand how the system worked). I look forward to working with you in sharing this "Good News" with others.

Blessed Hope has been a real blessing to me. I started off with them about two years ago at 7.9 cents a minute. Rates kept going down and they moved me down to 6.9, then 5.9, and now I’m all the way down to 4.9 cents a minute with no monthly fees either. I can hardly believe it! My phone bills have gone from about $125.00 a month, I call my kids in California several times a week, all the way down to about $50.00. I appreciate the savings a lot. It seems like everything is going up, except my phone bills. Thanks for your help guys. I’m more than happy to share my experience with other people.

---

Bob and Al, you guys have saved me a fortune! I own a sporting goods company and my monthly phone bills have been running between $500 and $1,000 a month. I just assumed the rates I had were decent rates until you showed me the advantages of six second billing and a low cost toll-free number. My bills have literally dropped in half. I’m just disgusted that I paid MCI 12 cents a minute for all those years. I just wish I’d met you sooner. Thank you!

---

I met the folks at Blessed Hope through an ad in Christian publication. It’s been about a year now and I am very pleased with the service. No busy signals, the phone bills are easy to read and understand and there have been no surprises or hidden charges of any kind. I asked a lot of questions up front because I have had a couple of bad experiences in the past, but I guess I had nothing to be worried about. Everything has been just fine and my bills have dropped quite a bit. I don’t spend a lot on long distance but it’s nice not to have a monthly fee any more. Please give my name to anyone you wish as a very happy customer.

---

Blessed Hope has been a lifesaver for me. I lost my job last year and have been without any income other than my unemployment checks for a long time. I tried to cut back wherever I could and when I saw an ad for 5.9 cent long distance and checked my own rates, I was pretty excited. I was paying 7 cents with AT&T, but I was paying a $4.95 fee every month. I listened to the company’s message and I found out that all my calls were being rounded up to the next minute, so I switched over to the six second increment billing. I know it saved me a lot. Hey, every little bit helps when you don’t have a job. Thanks for making life a little easier.

---

I first met Al Ulrich about six months ago and he has really helped me out a lot. I’m an older lady living alone and I spend about $25.00 a month on long distance. I signed up with Broadwing to eliminate my monthly fee with Lifeline and things have been exactly like I was told. Al took the time to explain the company and its advantages to me and I was able to switch my service to his company right over the phone. He even called me back to make sure my service was working which was nice so I shared the information with my kids who live in three different states. Now they’re saving money too. Thanks for paying such personal attention to my family

---

I’m a pastor of a small church in Wisconsin and was very pleased to discover the services of Blessed Hope in my Baptist newspaper. I like doing business with Christians when I can and Bob & Al have been a real blessing. I signed up the church and my own home, and I gave the number to my mother to call to sign up as well. Our expenses have gone way down, and the rates in our state are just incredible, so I am more than happy to offer a testimonial for whatever purpose you choose. Thank you for giving us a quality choice for Christian long distance. God bless your company.

---

I heard an advertisement for Blessed Hope on a local Christian radio station and I couldn’t sign up fast enough. I have grown very disenchanted with my rates in Lifeline and I just got tired of paying such high rates just to send 10% to my church. I figured it out on paper that I could switch to Blessed Hope, save about $20.00 a month on long distance and send my church about three times what I was sending them in Lifeline. It was just good common sense to change over. I’ve been with them for about six months and I hope I never have to switch companies again.

---

I’ve known Bob & Al for many years and I would do just about anything to help them. Except lie of course! I’ve been with their phone company for almost two years and they have taken exceptionally good care of my account. My service is great and my rates, from what I can tell, are the best in the country. I usually don’t like doing business with friends, but in their case I made an exception. I knew when they approached me about my business account that they would make doubly sure things were handled properly. Keep up the good work guys and keep dropping my rates! This is saving me a fortune!

---

I joined the Blessed Hope team about a year ago and signed up as an agent in the company. I figured with rates this low everyone would want to get hooked up to the service. I was right. I tell everyone I meet about Blessed Hope. I live in Michigan where everything is a long distance call, so I knew there would be a bunch of people who would want to save money. I’ve even surprised myself. I have signed up a few hundred customers that I earn an income on every month and I get a check every month for more than $700.00. The incredible thing is it keeps growing every month by about $50.00, sometimes more. My customers tell their friends and family about the incredible rates and their friends sign up over the phone. This is an incredible business! I can’t wait for the first of the month to arrive to see how high my checks will go. Right now I’m thinking this could become a full time business for me if things keep going well. I’m so glad I met both of you. Thanks for helping me get started.

---

God knows it’s hard to get along these days. I needed an extra income, badly, and Blessed Hope showed me how to earn one working from home part time! I started out by signing up a few people in my family and some friends from church and next thing I knew I’m getting a check every month for $75.00. That may not sound like a lot of money, but for someone living on Social Security, it really helps me make ends meet. Now I’m finding more people, mostly retirees living near me in Florida, who are excited at the chance to save money. I think this could be a real good thing for me down the road. Thanks for the good advice and the good investment. This is the only thing I’ve ever made money at!

---

I met Bob & Al through a network marketing company a few years ago and I have kind of followed them along the way because they always seem to make a lot of money! I don’t want to work real hard, I’m too busy, but they have showed me some of their tricks along the way. I took their advice and started to run some small classified ads in Christian newspapers and as hard as it is to believe I started to get dozens of calls from interested customers. All I do is give people an 800 number to call and my ID# and they sign up themselves over the phone. That I can do! If you’re looking for something pretty simple and easy to do, this is as easy as it gets. Just as long as I keep my ads running people keep calling me and signing up, and I keep getting paid every month on the customers I signed up over a year ago. It’s a great deal. Residual income is the only thing that makes any sense to me. As long as the company’s rates stay low, I can only see a bright future ahead for me. I give the Blessed Hope deal my very highest recommendation.

---

Greetings from the world’s biggest skeptic. I signed up on a whim half expecting some kind of scam, but I have to admit I have been pleasantly surprised. Good rates, better than anything I’ve ever had, and no gimmicks. I’ve never been asked to write a customer testimonial but this is one I am happy to write. Good people, good company, good phone bills!

Bob Ulrich has been a member of the staff at Prophecy in the News for about seven years. He is the Director of Development for our ministry and is someone we have grown to trust. We tepidly changed our long distance account over two years ago, fearing of course that we would lose our 800 number which we have had for almost twenty years. He assured us there wouldn’t be a problem and everything went as smooth as could be. Our monthly bills dropped immediately from over $1,100 a month all the way down to $575.00. Since then our rates have dropped even further and we’re now down to about $350.00. The service has been great and the billing is great. We pay the bill with a credit card because it’s so convenient. So far, no problems, just a big sigh of relief every month when the phone bill arrives.

---

I used to be so annoyed by the phone companies and all the stupid offers that come in the mail every week. It never dawned on me that I was paying through the nose with AT&T. I guess all their advertising made me assume that they were the only real long distance company out there. When Al pointed out some of the things AT&T supports, I felt a little embarrassed at being one of their customers. I switched over immediately and I have been very happy with the new company. I wish I’d made the switch years ago.

---

I was introduced to Blessed Hope by my pastor who seemed to think the company was legitimate. I became a customer first, then a home agent, and it has been a real eye opener. I’m not really a salesman but I do run into a lot of people in my job. I started handing out cheap business cards with my name on the front and a number to call to sign up on the back. People in Illinois love these rates and I’ve signed up about 20 people in my first couple of months. I think I can keep doing this and make an extra income from it. If I can do it anybody can do it! Thanks for the opportunity.

---

Yes, I am a happy customer of Blessed Hope! I have two kids in college and the phone bills were getting pretty outrageous. Then I found out I could have an 800 number installed for no cost on my own phone and it is saving us a fortune. Instead of collect calls, my kids call the 800 number for 4.9 cents a minute. Incredible. I bet we’ve blown thousands of dollars in the last two years on phone calls, but I’m just glad we’ve got a way to save now. Thank you for your sound advice.

---

Is there any such thing as a nice long distance salesman? Well, I think I’ve found one. The people at Blessed Hope have been so nice to me. I have a small home business and sometimes it’s a struggle to make ends meet, so I’m very grateful for the savings they’ve given me. My normal long distance bill was running about $100-$125 a month and my first month with Blessed Hope my bill was around $75 and I didn’t change anything. I compared the bills side by side and I was shocked to see that I’d actually made more calls than the month before, I just paid more for them. I was especially pleased to be able to get some straight answers from people who I really felt wanted to help me. It’s nice to be able to pick up the phone and ask a question. I pray that God really blesses your company in a special way. You’re really helping a lot of people.

---

What a pleasure doing business with Christians! I have gotten physically ill fighting with MCI every month and trying to decipher all the ridiculous charges that never did add up. They have been overcharging me every month and I just couldn’t take it any more. They had been promising a credit for almost six months but it never did come. When I saw your ad I was really excited, but now that I’ve been on the service for three months and I can see for myself how different your company is, I am telling everyone I know about these great rates. I am especially pleased that when I call you with a silly question, someone is there to talk to, or you call me back the same day. Thanks for offering me an alternative to MCI.

---

Telecom won’t make a person rich and it takes work and advertising, but working with Blessed Hope gives an agent the tools and support that will bring results . . .If the training and advice is implemented. Bob & Al know this business and I heartily recommend Blessed Hope to anyone desiring to build a part or full time income.

---

I’ve been a customer of Lifeline for many years. I never really paid any attention to my rates. I just liked supporting Christians. Once I found out how much I could save with Blessed Hope, I guess you could say I changed my tune. I got rid of my monthly fee. I lowered my rates substantially. And I was able to keep my 800 number. I was paying 25 cents a minute with Lifeline but I was able to lower that to 5.9 cents a minute. That was the easiest decision I’ve ever made! And I’m still supporting Christians so I feel good about my lower phone bills. Thanks for all your help.

---

Being a good steward should be important to every Christian. Some people might think I’m a cheapskate but I shop around for the best bargain. Not that money is the most important variable all the time, but if I can get good service and cheaper rates, I’m always willing to make a change. As a private businessman, I like the idea of hiring a private consultant to shop for the best rates for me. Great idea. When I want to buy life insurance I call my life insurance agent. When I want to buy car insurance I call my car insurance agent. Why not take the time to do the same thing with my phone bills? I always look for an expert and you guys seem to know what you’re doing. I used to spend about $500 a month on phone bills for my business. I can’t believe I spend less than half of that now. That savings pays one of my secretaries for the week! That’s called lowering your overhead and I like that. I’ll be calling you guys every few months to see if rates drop any further, but so far, so good.

About a year ago I took a trip to Florida for a relaxing winter vacation. When you live in Wisconsin you look forward to the break in the weather. I stayed at a nice hotel and I never thought twice about calling my daughter back home. Boy, did I get a surprise when I checked out. There was a charge of almost $85.00 on my bill, which I thought was a charge for an extra night’s stay. But I didn’t stay an extra night! The hotel charged me $85.00 for 4 short calls home to my daughter. Almost $4.00 a minute. I was so upset I let it wreck my whole vacation. That is when I started to look for a cheaper way to call home. Your 10 cent calling card was shocking news to me. It never dawned on me that I could call that cheap with a calling card. I wish I had known about your service before I took my trip, but now that I understand the whole process a little bit better, I’ll never get taken advantage of again. Thanks for the education.

I am tickled pink with the service I’ve gotten from Blessed Hope. In fact, I will never use another company for long distance again. Here’s why. When I first called Bob, I was having a huge problem with my previous carrier. They had become my long distance carrier the sneaky way, they slammed my service and charged me $1.00 a minute for my calls and they insisted I pay the bill or they’d report me to a collection agency. I have great credit and I didn’t want to run the risk or wrecking it over a $50.00 phone bill, but I was so upset I started to look for another carrier. I found your company by accident (I don’t believe in accidents) in a magazine I get every month so I called and I liked what I heard. Bob called me back and explained to me how the FCC feels about illegal slamming and told me what to do to get rid of the phone bill permanently. One call to the scurrilous carrier and presto, I had free long distance for the month! Wow! I guess it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Consider me a permanent fixture with your company!

I called Blessed Hope last year about comparing my phone bill to the one I had with AT&T. I’ve been an AT&T customer my whole life and I really wasn’t all that interested in doing anything but window shopping. But I changed my mind when the deal I had proved to be a pretty bad deal, even though it sounded good on the surface. First of all, I was paying a monthly fee with AT&T. $4.95 every month, even if I never made a phone call. Then I was told they were rounding all my calls up to the next minute. I didn’t really understand the 6 second billing that Blessed Hope offered but they took the time to explain it to me and I could see I was being taken to the cleaners on every call I made. Now I’m only paying for the time I spend on the phone, not the extra 20, 30 or 59 seconds of the call. That starts to add up when you make a lot of calls. After figuring out all the differences, I figure I save about $20.00 a month with Blessed Hope’s service. That’s enough to change anyone’s mind.

---

I’d be more than happy to offer a testimonial so other people can know a good deal when they see one. I’ve been a very happy customer of the company for over a year. I guess what I really appreciate is the honesty of the two gentlemen who own the company. The rate they gave me was exactly what I was seeing on the bill. There were no hidden charges of any kind, they even told me about the government charges on the bill that I would see, so I appreciate the up front information. I guess that’s what everybody wants. A decent rate and no hassles. There aren’t many people you can trust anymore but this is one company that keeps its word.

My husband is a truck driver so you can imagine the phone bills we get. He has a cell phone but he can only make so many calls without the bill getting completely out of control. He has a calling card that’s not too expensive, I think 14 or 15 cents a minute, but between the two, we spend over $400 a month on long distance. I finally found a logical solution. We got an 800 number from PNG and Blessed Hope and now when he calls at night, it costs us only 5.9 cents a minute. No monthly fees or special times to call. 5.9 all the time. That is an incredible offer that we couldn’t turn down. Our phone bills have dropped more than $100 a month. I guess it’s like having the cell phone for free! God bless you for showing us a better way.

I've only been a customer of Blessed Hope for a couple of months but I had a funny thing happen to me that I thought you guys might appreciate. I've been pretty uneducated about my phone bills in the past, to be honest I never looked at them. As long as they were under $100 bucks, who cares? Well I'm not hurting for money but I called on a magazine ad, just on a whim and boy did I get an education. I have been getting jerked around by MCI and I didn't even know it. Monthly fees every single month that I thought everybody had to pay and surcharges on my calling cards which has killed me on business trips. I also discovered for the first time what six second billing even is, so now I understand. I would guess I'm saving about 40-50% on my bill and it's only been a couple of months. I got an 800 number for my house so now when I travel, which I do 6 or 7 times a year, I call home for 5.9 cents a minute with no surcharges. Here's the funny part. MCI called me a few weeks ago after I made the switch. The man on the phone offered me a new "low rate" of 9 cents a minute. I couldn't control my laughter, so I stopped this guy in the middle of his speech and asked him if he could match 5.9 cents a minute with no fees and six second billing. Here's the really funny part. He never said another word. He hung up on me! Hey, what can I say? I love these rates! Maybe I need to become one of your salesman!

My family just returned from our annual excursion to Florida and I happened upon your web site, just to see if the rates had gone down in the past 6 months. I noticed you had a new testimonial section on the web site and I figured I'd help you out by encouraging other people to switch over to your long distance service. I have had a very good experience with your company and my telephone bills, which used to average about $50.00 a month or so, have dropped dramatically. Actually, my bills are now in the $20-$25 range so the savings have been very good. I especially appreciate having an 800 number here at the house. I'm not allowed to make long distance calls from my office which is about a half hour from home, but now I can call my wife toll-free for about 5 cents a minute. And nobody bothers me because I let them know I'm using my toll-free number. I've told a couple of people in the office about it and they said they were going to sign up too. I always say if you find something good, tell others about it. Especially if it helps out fellow Christians. I sure don't appreciate the things AT&T, MCI and Sprint support. Until I saw your web site, I just never knew they were supporting abortion and pornography. Thanks for letting your light shine and sharing the truth with other Christians. We all need to be kept abreast of these types of things. The only way to get through to these big corporations is to take away their monetary support. I can guarantee you, we'll never go back to them again.

I'm a pastor of a small church in upstate New York. I would prefer that my name be left out of the testimonial but I would be happy to share my experience with Blessed Hope. Actually I signed up with your company in hopes of making some money myself. I don't spend a lot of money on long distance but I know a few people who do and some Christian-owned businesses here in town so I decided to give it a shot. You can probably figure out that I'm like the majority of pastors, struggling to make ends meet. I earn about $28,000 a year which used to be a lot of money but to tell you the truth, I can't support my family on that income any more. We have run up a $2,000 balance on our credit card just trying to keep afloat. Our church is small and they can't afford to pay me any more, and I wouldn't ask them too, so I just decided one day to start looking for something I could do on the side, preferably something I could kind of just keep to myself. I was reading the Liberty paper one day when I came across your ad which was advertising for home agents and after listening to your message, I had a very good feeling about you and your company. It's been about 6 months now since I started and I haven't set the world on fire, but I have to admit, I haven't worked that hard either. I signed up my sister and her husband in Scranton and they signed up his mom and dad who were very excited to get on the service. They make quite a few international calls and they told us your rates were excellent. I have about 20 customers so far and last month I got my biggest check yet, $125.82. To me, it's an answer to prayer. We have already grown used to receiving it every month and really count on it to offset some of our expenses. I plan on gathering a lot more customers this year and increasing that substantially. Realistically, my wife and I think that if we work together on this, we can make an extra $400 a month which is enough for us to replace our old Honda with a new one. We know that money isn't everything, but it sure makes life a little more pleasant. Even for us preachers. Thank you for the help in getting started. Your teaching and advice really showed me the value of an income that comes every month, whether I've worked hard or sloughed off a bit. Now I understand that word residual income! It means the checks just keep on coming. Very nice investment for the average person like me. Thank you both.
