That's roughly $4.50 per minute. I can call central Mongolia for
less than that! You need to switch phone carriers.

I'm in southern AZ, and can call anywhere in the US or Canada for
under 5 cents a minute.

Oh, believe me - I don't live in New Jersey - the Garden State.
I spent a year there in 2000. The greenish-blue well water and vast
multitudes of scam-artists, and deer ticks had me racing back to the
Southern Appalachians. g

As for the phones - I believe one company held a monopoly on the land
lines there... We're talking calls _within_ the state, out of state
was different - the Feds get involved...
