According to {Communications Week}, Pac Bell has introduced a
residential 800 service plan. Why they call it a residential plan is
unclear, because Pac Bell is saying that rates will vary depending on
whether the line is being used for business purposes. The business
rates are $50 for install, $15 a month, plus $6-$11 hour of use.

Presumably this is for in-state calls, though I'm not sure any of the
LECs block instate calls on their residential 800 numbers.
