I think I paid like $75 for 1000 minutes or 600 can't remember but LD included and no roaming which was nice since I went out of state alot.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12667663 Mon, 14 Feb 2005 12:33:57 EDT Re: Glad to hear they're going out of businesss http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12667612 pnh102 :

Oh I hated that company!!! I believe I got a cell phone my 2nd year of college and it was 20x cheaper.
My problem was that at the time (mid-1990s) cell service was still expensive and nationwide calling plans were non-existent. Bell Atlantic Mobile was nickel-and-diming me on just about anything they could (remember the days of 99 cent a minute roaming?). Personally, I am glad that cell service has plummeted in price and that the phrase "long distance call" no longer has any meaning.

Me too... remember AT&T ACUS... charging outrageous per-minute prices for long distance calls?

Plus ACUS overcharged me at least 4 times from what I remember.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12666670 Mon, 14 Feb 2005 09:50:48 EDT Re: Glad to hear they're going out of businesss http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12658580 Kearnstd : charging people to make local calls from a private telephone should be illegal. but colleges and motels still do it.

Yuck. I also remember the last time I had to fight with an ex-roommate who ran up the local phone bill on his own and then refused to pay it because he was leaving the country. I almost had to rip his head off before he coughed up the cash to cover the charges. It will be nice to see fewer students going through that hassle.

Cell phones are much more practical anyway, given that many students change residences each semester. It only makes more sense to have one phone number which stays with you for all that time.
