We had metered local service, and depending on where you were calling you were charged a certain number of "message units". So... it was cheap (one unit) to call my aunt and uncle who were in Brooklyn near us, but expensive (three units) to call my grandparents in Queens. Methinks this needs to move back to grrltalk.... can't post there from work though. Best, Caity ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caitlyn M.
