I dunno ... ask Sprint "how it can be"!  As I've already said, the
rates compared were Sprint's best rates (at least, the best ones they
told me about) and AT&T's ROA plan.

Are you trying to say that the comparison is only valid if Sprint's
best rate is better than AT&T's worst rate?  I can save you lots of
money on all your daytime L/D calls myself, and no hassles with
changing your current L/D carrier, either.  Just start making the
calls at night!  Send me the $5 signup fee and 10% of your monthly
savings, please.  :-)

I hereby extend my previously stated offer to discuss a "wonderful
business opportunity" to you, also!
