With money like that at stake, do you think they would "guess" whether to charge or not?:-) Seriously, however, I can tell you for an absolute fact that international calls (including those to Australia) supervise quite reliably. It may be that your local situation is not handling the supervision properly for billing purposes. The local telco is getting the answer indication back from the US; you should ask them why the problem with your bills. John Higdon | P. O.
