on the way to jp's i made a collect call from a pay phone. the 3 minute call cost $19.80!!! $3.30 for the actual call. $7.00 for the operator fee. $9.50 for the OWNER of the pay phone. what a racket!!! so i call ZERO PLUS DIALING which turns out to be the billing co. then i get the info for LEGACY LD INTL INC. turns out they are the long distance provider. so i asked "who owns the phone"? " due to our privacy agreement we cannot provide than info". rude people and i wasn't in the mood. the customer service people that work for those 2 co's have the worst jobs in the world. dealing with VERY PISSED off people for 8 hours a day. oh, after the numerous taxes were tacked on, the total was $22.14. i was one angry guy yest am. "did you ask the operater how much it would cost before you called?", "no, how much would that of cost me?", "$7.00".

[/QUOTE]Cancel your home phone landline and just use your cell phone[QUOTE]
That has been the plan for cellular since I started back in 1985. I still remember the meetings on how this great plan was going to be in place by 1990 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . Well so it took almost 20yrs but its happening. If Iridium wasn't such a cluster you would be able make & receive calls all over the word. Give us 10yrs to get all the BS worked out. - Garold |
