I wonder what it will look like when billed. No, you do not have to sign up for this plan. You just go ahead and start using it. By the way (this may be my imagination), it seems to me that even when I do not use a #, the call gets completed quite fast. You would expect that, as this process is similar to a Calling Card call, there would be delay while the process waited for the remaining ten digits of the calling card. Probably the 15 signals that this is a Call Manager call. As for the question about your bill. It will come with the call listed under a section entitled - Account Code 00xx. I have been using this for about an year now and it is really useful when at the end of the month you need to figure out the bill for three roommates. And, by the way, this DOES NOT cost anything more that a regular 1+ call. I have received mail from a lot of readers wondering that as the process is similar to that for a Calling Card call, it would cost more.
