  A lot of us do, where economies similar to PC Pursuit are available.  For in-
  stance, NYNEX offers an intrastate (NY) toll call discount schedule: a flat
  fee for up to n hours, then a reduced rate for usage above that point.  In
  return, it sends us a summary bill with no call itemization.  So I have to
  keep track of my usage myself, to know how much I've spent and to be able
  to doublecheck the phone company's claims.

  No one forces me to use this service.  I do because it saves me money.  But
  to guarantee that I save money I have to keep track of what I am doing. Seems
  fair enough to me.
