I have mine through ATC (use to be TelUs) .... its only $2.50 /mo
25.9 /min daytime 19 /min evenings/weekend/nights

I called Telecom*USA and they are not marketing it in their
SouthernNet area -- just the Teleconnect area. Different rate
structures, too.  The GA office said they are working on changes for
the 800 services and should be ready in a month or two.
