Bell of PA, which recently started allowing callers to be connected
automatically to the number requested from DA (for an additional $.30)
has announced a change in the service.

Now, DA will *first* recite the number you requested, and then give
you the option to be connected automatically.  Seems as though folks
got a little cranky having to sit through the pitch first before
getting the number.
