Just before the Salamander/Nimesh's barbeque, I made three phone calls to the area, for a total of just over 20 minutes....Damn phone company nailed me for $22.71! What a crock....

Al, 976 numbers have their own associated charges on top of long distance.

Al, your phone company isn't aligned with UPS, are they? UPS loves to screw you over big time whenever they bring anything into Canada.

Interesting, I can call north america for about 5 cents a minute (and there is probably better plans out there).

I'm with xviper, must be UPS

Colleen signed up for a cheap local and long distance plan, but it doesn't include calls outside of the US. We pay a flat fee of 12.95 for all the calls we can make. Just don't make any across any bodies of water, I guess.

It's those conditions that'll do ya in - those slimy bastids!

You should read the fine print. If you fart while you are making a call to the next state, they may move the decimal point over by 1 in your billing.
