This is from comments to that post by Alec Saunders: <blockquote>In the 1980’s, AT&T was doing the same thing, i.e. selling sex phone calls to gay guys in the USA who wished to ‘Reach Out and Touch a New Friend’ but could not afford to do so 900-number style. And AT&T was always quick to point out, “NO PREMIUM CHARGE FOR THESE CALLS. YOU ONLY PAY INTERNATIONAL TOLL RATES”, to Guyana, South America, Brazil, or Africa or wherever the balance of payments on telephone arbitrage was the most out of whack (in AT&T’s favor).</blockquote> Clem: I agree with you.

AT&T's main contention is that the calls do not terminate in Iowa. If they don't then all of there prepaid call programs have been improperly charging customers for years. better get out there check book!! I don’t think this is the end of these programs.
