Call Pat Robertson's "700 Club" 1 (800) 759-0700 to provide feedback; costs him $1.00 per call |

Call Pat Robertson's "700 Club" 1 (800) 759-0700 to give your opinion of his comments about Haiti. It costs them about $1 to pick up each 800 call.

There's one at the gas station up the street from me that allows free "800" calls. This will give me something to do while filling the car up and enjoying a Mountain Dew.

3. They just showed his comments on tv here in Australia |
|
He has made a global ass out of himself.
I just hope that internationally, folks view his words as "Pat Robertson's dumbased opinion" not "the Christian American dumbassed opinion."

14. Where do you get the idea that 800 service costs a $1 a call? Try a nickle maybe. |

Edited on Thu Jan-14-10 07:10 PM by Statistical
Even small business can get 800 service for around $0.05 to $0.10 a minute with 6 second billing.
A large organization like 700 club likely has rates in the $0.02 to $0.03 range.
Figure slightly more than minimum wage for customer service people and they likely will cut you off in a rant within 2 minutes.
Say $8 per hour = 60 minutes = $0.13 per minute. Maybe you get 2 minutes of time out of them. So make it quarter tops.
