The voice is generally automated and asks you to press any key on your telephone keypad. By following the instruction, you are automatically transferred to a sales pitch on joining an organization which provides special services. You are told that a benefit of membership is to receive discounted long distance. Be aware that simply pushing a key on your telephone keypad could lead to the switching of your long distance service without your having full knowledge of the rates or other vital information.
Consumers have an absolute right to choose the long distance carrier they wish.
The unauthorized conversion of a consumer's long distance service is a violation of FCC rules. Before making any commitment on prize offers, or accepting any portion of a prize offering, make sure that you understand all the facts, including whether charges will be placed on your telephone bill or if membership will result in the switching of your long distance service from your preferred carrier.
