Reply-To: Dennis Blyth Message-ID: Organization: NCR International - Europe Group, Dayton Sender: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 426, Message 3 of 10 Lines: 14 In Cincinnati Bell territory, one can call from a residence phone in Hamilton, Ohio (about 30 miles north of the Ohio river) to the Cincinnati International airport (CVG -- code named short for 'Covington' -- because the Cincinnati airport actually is in Northern Kentucky, about 15 miles south of the Ohio river) for the price of a local call. For residences, this is non-measured service. Admittedly only certain exchanges in Hamilton have this service, and one pays extra (less than $ 2, in my recollection), but, oh, boy, what a deal!! BTW, is this the furthest distance one can go, 'toll free' in the states. (Pls, no flames for 800 service, I'm new to the net and somewhat sensitive!)
