Just drop the long distance service, that's what I did several years ago. 95% of the time I need to call LD it's a toll free number anyway and there's VOIP for the rest.

I'm guessing you didn't even bother to read the article. They are charging for NOT having any long distance plan. Reading comprehension FTW.

No, I did not read it. The headline is semantically incorrect then in saying "for not using enough" and should read "for not using". Hence the fallacious conclusion.




I don't always drink carbonated Mexican rat piss, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
