I believe that another reason why people are concerned about the 900
and 976 numbers and children is because children see Santa Claus on TV
telling them to dial a 976 or 900 number to find out what's happening
at the North Pole.  They see comic book heros telling them to dial the
phone to find out their latest adventures.  I've yet to see a
commercial on TV asking kids to phone a non-976/900 number.
