Hi Richard,
On 22 Dec'96, you growled something about Mobile charges to Ziggy
Malter:

 RM>    Hm, not bad. I'm on a regular consumer

Well, both your plans are great. I'm paying $16.00 per month for local
service, and .36 per minute peak and .16 min off peak. If I travel to a
"roam" area, it's .99 per minute, but with the travel pack at an
additional $3.00 per month, I only pay .55 per min, but on weekends, I
have free long distance. Because of the secrity feature, I have to let
the cellular company know when I'm leaving the local area and where I'm
headed and for how long so they can give me access. Confusing? I
thought so!!
