Hello Bj”rn!

 BF> OK, but did people really call this numbers?

You'd be surprised at what people will do.  (-:

 BF> What do you mean with you don't have a long distance carrier?

There are so many of them available that I decided to stick with the one I
had originally.  I noticed some months ago, even when I didn't receive or
make a long distance call, that a minimum of $5.00 would be added to my
bill.  After several months of that, I decided to get a cellular phone and
discontinued my LD carrier.

 BF> Can't you make a long distance call?

That's what the cell phone is for. I can call anywhere in the continental
United States free of charge.  If I wanted to call a couple of friends in
Canada, it would be about 70 cents per minute.

 BF> If not, is it something that is available but you don't want to pay 
 BF> for?

See above.

 BF> Do you know if the American telephone book is available on Internet.

No, I don't.

 BF> If it is, could I search for Roger Nelson in California and find you?
 BF> Or Steven Horn in Whitehorse?

You'd find lots of Roger Nelsons in California, but none of them would be
me.  I live in Louisiana.  The LA in my Origin line is confusing you. 
Don't worry, it confuses lots of people.  LA is a state, where L.A. (Los
Angeles) is a city in California.


Regards,

Roger
