The other day, I saw a commercial on cable TV for one of those
"credit-repair" services.  It seemed remarkably uninteresting, until I
noticed the cost of the 900 number which you call for information on
their service.

For one telephone call:  THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS.

I'm curious to know if other Telecom readers have seen more expensive
calls.  (Gee, the Jose Canseco hotline seems like a bargain now!)
