Rent-Way Selects BellSouth for Long Distance at Nationwide
Locations, Local Service in the Southeast -- Comprehensive
Solutions and Excellent Service Give BellSouth National Competitive
Advantage -- ATLANTA, Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- BellSouth (NYSE:BLS)
announced today that it is providing long distance voice services
for Rent-Way at 710 locations across the U.S. In the last year,
BellSouth was also awarded local service business for Rent-Way's
260 stores in the Southeastern U.S. Rent-Way is a leading
furniture, appliance, electronics and computer rental-purchase
company based in Erie, Pa., and lists excellent customer service, a
comprehensive product portfolio and the creativity of the BellSouth
sales organization as the deciding factors in the recent
agreements. "Moving our nationwide long distance services to
BellSouth was one of the smoothest transitions we've ever had,"
said Bob Hughes - director of real estate and construction -
Rent-Way. "As a result, we're working with BellSouth to explore
additional communications solutions in the future. We are extremely
pleased with the entire team and their responsiveness, from sales
and service to billing." Creative solutions and personal touch have
added to Rent-Way's satisfaction with BellSouth as a communications
provider. The BellSouth account team recently designed customized
calling cards, emblazoned with Rent- Way's corporate messaging, for
Rent-Way's upcoming annual managers conference. "The level of
service BellSouth delivers is truly the differentiator," continued
Hughes. "This motivated us to initially move back to BellSouth and
to expand our business with them to a national level." Previously
served by a competitive local exchange carrier for local service in
the Southeast, Rent-Way switched its 260 stores in the region back
to BellSouth in the fourth quarter of 2003. Compelled by its
positive experience with BellSouth local services, Rent-Way asked
the company to bid on its long distance services as well.
"BellSouth's broad services portfolio and our willingness to go the
extra mile in our support of these solutions continue to allow us
to successfully compete in the U.S. business communications
market," said Joan Kratz - vice president of marketing, BellSouth
Business. For more information about BellSouth products and
