For those subscribers to PTTs which only bill in message units who
want to check on their bills, or perhaps know how much each call
costs, the PTT will rent you a device with a counter.  This counter
will give you the unit counts, and you can then check the bill at the
end of the month.

By the way, a non-trivial fraction of your cost of telephone service,
both local area and inter-LATA, is due to the cost of billing.
