I cancelled my account with Sprint after leaving my FON card with my roommates, expecting them to take over the account. They never did, and four months later I get a bill at my new address for charges made *after* I cancelled. After several phone calls and threats from collection agencies, they dropped the charges, but I think you will want to think twice before you use the card. I think I got off because it was clear I hadn't made the calls. I would think they would keep after you, considering you did make the calls. I wouldn't feel too safe about having moved. Unless you changed your name and social security number, they will find you. (Ve have Vays...). :^) Jonathan Whitcomb UUCP: Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, NC Delphi: JBWHIT
