'Charge per Call' costs $4.05-$4.45 a month, and all calls are metered after you spend the $.25 allowance they give you. Two-party line service is STILL AVAILABLE on all plans.. Kinda outdated, in my opinion. The second plan, 'Local Calling With Allowance' costs $6.40-$6.80 a month, and is metered after you spend your $4.00 allowance. And finally, there is the almighty 'Unlimited calling to Local Area,' costing $10.60-$11.00/month. Typically, my phone bill (minus my hundred-or-so dollars in LD charges) comes to $15.58 a month, with taxes and the hideous 'Touch Tone charge.' Not bad at all, after I read all the messages on here of people explaining their exorbitant local call charges.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rodney Amadeus Anonymous, Jr. | pro-palace!r.a.a. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
