In Reading, and I assume in most areas, AT&T is actually the least expensive
company for some calls some times of day, besides having all the other goodies
like directory assistance, operators, operator assisted calls like person-
to-person, collect, credit card, etc.  Also, no company is cheapest at all
times for all calls, despite what they advertise.
