Hi Steven,

 SH> But we've never paid anything for a local call.

TANSTAAFL.

Of course you paid for local calls. They just don't appear as such on the invoice.

 MvdV>> For my cell phone I pay a monthly fee of EUR 9.05. An EUR 0.10
 MvdV>> call setup fee and a per minute rate of EUR 0.20 and up depending
 MvdV>> on destination.

 SH> I've given up trying to understand my cell phone charges
 SH> because I have a block of free time included in my monthly fee.

That's why I declined all offers to convert my subscription into a

Cheers, Michiel
