Re: A wonderful hidden charge

Skype rocks. I pay an additional $30 a year for a number in London that can be called (as a BT charged call to London) and gets me here in the US (for those that haven't yet caught on to the free International calls using Skype). Costs and sounds like I'm in London :-)

I don't know if you are interested, but if you were to download Skype
(free), you could pay +/- $30 for a year of long distance in the USA or
Canada to any land line phone...

I got it on sale at the beginning of the year, and most of the time the
quality is fantastic.

>> I don't have an international plan.

Neither do I Joe (in the reverse direction of course) and other than
cell phones I've never encountered a situation where the US is
regarded as "foreign" - and even then only when I'm _in_ the US as
opposed to calling it.

You might want to take this up with your phone company - it is not
normal to treat Canada as a "foreign" country - but I _have_
experienced many situations where because the Canadian area code is a
new one, that US boards treat it as being in the Caribbean or
whatever.

One would hope that AT&T wouldn't have that sort of screwup, but I'll be
calling them to find out just what the deal is.
