Hi Steven,

 MvdV>> But of course local calls aren't "free". You just pay for
 MvdV>> them in another way that we do.

 SH> month.  After that, all local calls or free including voice
 SH> calls, ISP calls, or Fidonet data calls.

Hmmm,.. you pay three times as much per month for the basic service as I do.

What it boils down to is that you pay some EUR 30,- a month for your local
calls. That is an interesting definition of "free". ;-)

The bottom line on my telephone bill for last month was just under EUR 44.
That includes ALL calls.

Regards, Michiel
