Wow, that is in my opinion very high, Brian. Now I do agree that
Cellular One is also more expensive, when used during the day. I do
not use it as such, but I am very sure many people are using their
Cell phones during the day.
As an example, and using mt Cell phone during weekdays after 7-Pm and
on week-ends and holidays, I used the Cell phone for 1026 minutes or
17 hours, and paid in August $35 + tax = $37.68
It is easy to figure out, what my rate was per minute over this time
period!
I used to pay more for much less time using Pacific Bell. I actually
paid for after hours landline connections to my best friend, and my
brother consistently $44/month for the past seven months.
For some reason, the transmission seems to have improved in this frin-
ge area, and I have less cut-outs, I used to have before. May be I am
just imagining this..
