Troops move out for less with Exchange Home Services

DALLAS – On average, military families move once every two years. As a result, they regularly face the confusing array of choices when it comes to TV, internet and phone services available at their new duty station.

Fortunately, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is taking the guesswork out of setting up communication offerings with its Exchange Home Services program.

This new initiative allows military families in the continental United States go online to compare local offerings for TV, internet and telephone, individually or bundled, to ensure they are receiving the best deals in their area.

By logging onto www.aafes.com/HomeServices or by calling 1-877-836-5205 and simply providing a street address and ZIP code, on- or off-base, shoppers can easily make side-by-side comparisons of features and prices from top providers.

A search specific to Fort Bragg yields TV options ranging from $19.99-$84.99, telephone service at Randolph AFB starting at $17.99, and Internet connections at Ft. Lewis from $19.99-$189.99. (Please note these prices are subject to change).

“Exchange Home Services will not only make life easier for those that are PCSing, but also for those who just want to shop smarter by comparing their current service to other options available to them,” said Mark Morell, Vice President. “They simply make their selection and then schedule start-up, all online or through a call center.”
