     I saw that number in a newspaper article and called it as well.  Really
     something to listen to.  According to the article (and verified by
     my phone bill), the cost was $0.50 for the first minute and $0.35 for
     additional minutes.  I remember that because I figured out that it would
     be cheaper to call a long distance number from where I was to Texas
     cheaper than to call 900 series number.
