The odd thing about this is that I never asked for a Foncard, or for 1+ service from Sprint. I had been using 10777 to access Sprint for some time, and now, looking back at my phone bills, it seems that Sprint has been my default LD carrier since the beginning of the year. I'm not really upset about this, since I've been quite happy with the line quality (I tried MCI and found it unacceptable), but I'm puzzled that N.Y. Telephone would change my default carrier without notifying me, or charging the $5-10 they usually charge to change the default LD service. Is this part of the agreement whereby random blocks of subscribers were to be assigned to non AT&T LD carriers? -- inet: dupuy@columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!columbia!dupuy
