I was talking to a friend about her long distance service a few days ago (being that I sell MCI and all) and she told me that a relative of hers was using AT&T. Of course, this didn't shock me one bit. Thousands of people use AT&T. But then she went on to tell me that this relative was being billed, on her AT&T page, $40.00 every two or three months (she wasn't sure of the frequency.) This DID shock me, as I have never heard of such a thing. Immediately, I began scanning through my mind for information about Reach Out America, or other AT&T options, but nothing fit the bill (pardon the pun). If anyone knows what this charge might be, please e-mail or voicemail me immediately, as I would like to help her remove the charge (assuming it is erronous). I don't have a copy of her AT&T bill here, nor have I seen it, so don't ask for any specifics until I can contact her about it. Thanks alot! Sean E.

How about tens of millions of us who are quite satisfied with it? This allegation of a periodic $40 charge shocks me also. I can think of nothing which fits that description, so you might want to have this person actually read the descriptive line to you the next time it appears. PAT]
