How can the phone co-op be so cheap?Because the Phone Co-op is owned and controlled by its customers, you can expect a fairer deal. PCO deliver high quality, reliable services as well as a more ethical and environmentally responsible approach to business. Join The Phone Co-op and be part of the only telecommunications provider that's run in your interest. You'll cut your phone costs and receive your share of profits. By choosing The Phone Co-op you'll save money while helping to build a consumer-owned business which aims to provide service and savings to its customers, rather than to make money for outside investors. Each minute you spend on the phone using our service not only saves you money, but helps boost our purchasing power. This means we can get a better deal for all our customers, including the thousands of charities and voluntary groups who use The Phone Co-op. So far we have saved our customers over £1.5 million. The Phone Co-op was founded in 1998 and was originally known as SETCO — the Social Economy Telecommunications Co-operative. The co-operative was established with the aim of making cheaper telecommunications services available primarily to the third sector by purchasing collectively. Although anyone could become a customer, membership of SETCO was initially restricted to third sector customers only. It soon became apparent, however, that many residential customers wished to join the co-operative. A rule change was agreed with members and, in August 1999, SETCO became The Phone Co-op and was converted to a Society incorporated under the Industrial & Provident Societies Acts. * The RISC phone affinity is managed by Sector 39
